Many of the teeth from the "slow curve" will fade from a lovely blue,when fresh from the ground to white after a short time. More of Mine from STH. (it is one of the 3 sites I have hunted and has many nicely colored teeth.) This time to show the color range of the larger pieces. 3 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

ArrowHead Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Here's a mix of nicely colored teeth from Sharktooth Hill, Ernst Quarries. Where I work the quarry at Slow Curve there are two depositional layers, the better known being the bone bed layer, where the vast majority of the fossils are found. About 30" above the bonebed however is a thin layer with a lower fossil density that contains richly colored red and orange teeth. In this colored zone the teeth roots are very fragile and the teeth are much smaller on average than within the lower bonebed layer. Most teeth come out with damaged roots but the few that are preserved well enough to extract intact are often quite stunning. I'd estimate that <5% of the intact teeth collected during a day of digging will be colored. I have also included a couple of blue/gray teeth (some with manganese staining) that were found at East Quarry. In contrast to Slow Curve, the East Quarry blue/gray teeth are very well preserved and hard so you get a higher percentage of complete teeth. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
