Sir.tommy.the.toad Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I have some rattlesnake creek micro matrix for trade( 1/4" and smaller). I am open to any trades of something I can't get here in Gainesville. I have a bunch about a gallon worth and some to dry still. The pics are from 1 cup worth. I quickly went through. I know I left some was getting tired and my kids helped. Sorry US only international cost to much. Also willing to trade for rocks and minerals, for my daughter she got a small set at school and looks threw them daily trying to ID them. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 It's a shame it's only US shipping. because I live in the Netherlands and I saw some cool stuff, namely the sawfish rostrum. Well, good luck selling trading anyways! Greetings, Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Max-fossils Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Just saying, I'm still very much interested. But I understand that international shipping costs too much... Quick question: what's this? (the weird tooth-looking thing) Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

digit Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 It appears to be the tip of a Hemiprisis serra shark tooth. Do some searches on this forum and you'll find images that should match. Cheers. -Ken 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Is this still up for trade? I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Breakin' Rocks Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I will say I traded for some of this matrix and I barely have gone through a few handfuls ... it is not an exaggeration to say that this stuff is choc-a-block full of micros. Thanks Again, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 And great color too! Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossiling Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 what a shame I live in HK. I love micros. let's see the micros others get! Keep looking! They're everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Breakin' Rocks Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Here is the second batch of micros from Sir Tommy's matrix that I finally got around to scanning. Thanks again, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Yup. That certainly looks like the diversity (and colors) of Rattlesnake Creek. I collected some a little over a year ago to search for some decent Nurse Shark (Ginglymostoma) teeth that seem to be in better shape in that creek than the tumbled teeth of this species that I rarely pull from Peace River micro-matrix. One of the other notable things about Rattlesnake Creek micro-matrix is the abundance of small bits of broken glass. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This creek is also fun in the summer when you forget your bug repellent, I must have lost a quart of blood the last time I was there. Did you ever find your nurse shark teeth ?

Was quite happy with the Ginglymostoma specimens I picked up from there. I had seen some lovely ones found by @oldbones and knew just where to go to find some prizes for myself. I love a search with a mission and I was well rewarded by my tiny finds. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuzi Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I would be willing to trade some matrix from the Post Oak Creek in Sherman TX. I'm not sure it's nearly as rich as your Rattle Snake Creek matrix. Here is what I found from several bags of it. I'm really new to this so I'm sure I missed a few things.
