Peace river rat Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I finally found an entire megladon tooth. I have hundreds of fragladons and was beginning to wonder if I would ever find one. It is not huge but it is two colors and in perfect condition. Sorry about the crappy pics but my laptop is all I have to work with. I found it laying right on top where flood waters had receded. It made my day! Also found a large vert in perfect shape. And a monster gator tooth, that is a nickle I am holding against the base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDudeCO Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Congrats on your first whole meg! About the same size as my first meg!!! (But yours has much better colour!) The gator tooth is killer, would love a large one like that for my collection. The vert is pretty interesting to me though, any idea what it may be from?

Calvin Jenkins Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I too have had to wonder what the ratio of frags to fulls is, but now you've overcome that hurdle! Congrats! Love that Gator Tooth! So you mentioned it was where the flood receded, I'm assuming it was sand berm, and it probably flushed out a pocket up stream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesuslover340 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The meg may be the star of this thread, but the crocodilian tooth (unsure if gator without clearer photos) has the full audience of one "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."-Romans 14:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
