belemniten Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 The last two weeks i was on vacation in the Netherlands. I was there with my whole family so i couldnt search that much ... The best location was near Antwerp (Belgium). There was desposited sand from the Westerschelde (with fossils). Unfortunately, the times in abundance are over and its very overgrown now, but at a few places you can still find something .... Looks good .... The best method is to dig a bit and sieve the material. Now my finds ... I found many shark teeth, bones and other cool things. Most of the shark teeth are very small and often they are damaged or unrolled. In two times i was there i found some good teeth with a length between 2-5 cm. Here you can see some: (sry on the top right corner are teeth from Vlissingen) I tried to determine some of them so please correct me Detailed pictures: A nice 3.6 cm long teeth ... think it could be Isurus oxyrinchus. Cosmopolitodus ? The tooth is 2.3 cm long. This tooth was very common, but i dont know the name ... (Length: between 1 until 2 cm) Carcharias acutissimus (1.6 cm long) Carcharoides catticus (1.8 cm long) And the last shark tooth i want to show (for now) is this very small (0.5 cm long) Notorhynchus sp. : Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils Regards Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belemniten Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Besides the shark teeth i found also other teeth like ray teeth. This ray teeth is one of the better one with a lenght of 1.2 cm .... Myliobatis sp. I also found many tops of dolphin teeth, but only two complete specimens .... This is the better one: ( about 2 cm long) Last but not least i want to show you some bones i pick up there ... There are many whale bones, but many are damaged so i only take five along ... The first one is 10 cm big ... The next one is bigger .... And i think this is a little bird bone ... ( 3 cm long) Thanks for viewing ! Hope you enjoy Many greetings from Germany !

Guguita2104 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Fantastic fossils,Sebastian !!! On the first pic I think I see two naticidae gastropods. About the 3rd picture's teeth, I think they belonged to the well-known sand tiger shark ( carcharias taurus), but I'm not sure. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
