Trevor Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hello everyone, this is Trevor. I wanted to document my collection as of July 23, 2016. There are some pieces of my collection that are not displayed here, however, the overwhelming majority is here. I began fossiling around 5.5 years ago when my mother took me to Big Brook (an NJ Cretaceous stream). I kind of cooled off for two years and then attacked the hobby and became a serious fossil hunter. Here is my collection through all of it. Starting: Various Shark Teeth and Finds: Left (2) Top: Big Brook Belemites, Bottom: Ramanessin Brook Shark Teeth prior to 2014. Next bags: Top: The results of three Green Mill Run hunts in NC, Bottom: The results of two Aurora Museum spoil pile hunts Next bags~A variety of smaller hunts. Additionally, on far right, family finds. They mixed everything (not between sites but between people's finds). Overview NJ Cretaceous (Last three years) Left Middle Right : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Fossils and other natural objects that have been given to me, bought by me, or in the case of the ferns under shark mouth, hives in upper left, or pieces of petrified wood on the bottom, found by me. Better NJ Cretaceous finds: Shark's teeth. Display Cases: Left: Family Big Brook finds in better condition. Middle: My better finds from Aurora spoils Right: My brother's mixed finds that he gave me control over Leaves: : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagurus Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Really nice collection, Trevor, but shouldn't you have been sitting on a couch playing games instead of hiking through outdoor streams? Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Really nice collection, Trevor, but shouldn't you have been sitting on a couch playing games instead of hiking through outdoor streams? Ha that's what all of my friends have been doing this entire summer. I am slowly starting to integrate them into the passion. Bring them for a modest outing and see whether or not they enjoy it. It gets really lonely sometimes. Ha kidding I have the fossils with me. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFOOLEY Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Very nice collection...you have some great Cretaceous specimens. "I am glad I shall never be young without wild country to be young in.

Shazuren Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Nice collection Trevor. I am pretty sure you have gone over the maximum number of fossils for the Brooks on each trip. Lol just joking. Thank you for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Congratulations. That's one truly amazing collection. And you've only been doing this five and a half years?!!! I'm sure there's lots more to come. Happy hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
