Nimravis Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 To keep this thread going, here are items that I did not find personally. From Alaska, possibly a fossil walrus tusk (age undetermined). The colors on this ivory are really beautiful. This has handed down from a fossil mentor of mine years ago. The next is a Grallator print from Mass. Though the print is very nice, the nomenclature on it is the real prize for me. It was collected in 1941 by Micro Paleontologist Jesse James Galloway, who in 1916 was the Curator of Paleontology at Columbia University and later a Professor at the University of Indiana and Research Director of Paleontology at the Indiana Department of Conservation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Breakin' Rocks Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I had to ... my Christmas present to myself. A ridiculous C. angustidens tooth from the Charleston, SC area. The cusps are wicked cool ... the polish at the end that the seller added was meh, but overall it's sweet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Whoa, there are some really cool fossils here! Anyways I'm also gonna come in and show you my favorite: an unidentified lobster from Lyme Regis, UK (Lower Lias, early Jurassic). This is the first "valuable" fossil I ever found, and it is with no doubt my favorite! I found it a few years back, when my love of fossils was just starting. 1 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

-Andy- Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Deltadromeus agilis tooth This one is a problematic id. There's no skull material yet of this enigmatic dinosaur. This tooth could be Rugops sp. instead. We see many teeth sold in fossil shops incorrectly labelled as Deltadromeus when they are more commonly Carch. Real Deltadromeus teeth are approx 1.5 - 2 inches long, narrow, and laterally compressed. Their serrations are also rounder and more uneven than Carch teeth. 1 Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!

The yellow-ish color on the root, and the color of the blade, no wonder this is one of your favorites! I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Cam28 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Nearly 2 years ago I had the grand opportunity to search a closed down mosaic phosphate mine with the Tampa fossil club (& apparently mosaic won't allow club hunts any more). Won't forget that day for the rest of my life, nor the weight of the moment when I saw the meg tip sticking out of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellowish color comes from a small amount of residual bone bed matrix on the root. Marco Sr. 1 "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."
