Rowboater Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Still no big teeth to take back to the school teacher in Singapore. But more variety; lots of little teeth including a small mako and two cowshark fragments, some weird small vertebra, small coral ball, turtle shell fragments, some unidentified fossil bits and pieces (pick up when bored; spend lots of time on afterwards?),and a small ecphora (don't usually collect shells, but she likes them).

Miocene_Mason Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Nice finds, especially the ecphora! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowboater Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Thanks. I'm still learning. Never paid much attention to the shells, but people on this site seemed excited about the ecphora so I'll have to look for them now. Has not been a banner few weeks for shark teeth so guess I need to learn more about the other stuff. Lots of black shiny fossil pieces as well, probably most unidentifiable, but will try to research some of those as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Nice finds! Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Rowboater Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 @ynot Thanks! Went out today, not as good. Will either scan and add photos or start a new (but same) topic. There are lots of small bones and stuff that I don't know what they are, might need help with ID. As well as some interesting big "whale bone" chunks.

Rowboater Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Lots of teeth, just small. A few interesting ones (four angel shark, and two or three with elongated root). No cowshark, no ecphora this time though lots of ecphora pieces laying around. I'll try to get some scans and maybe cell phone pictures of some of the non-shark teeth stuff I found.

Rowboater Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Non-shark teeth. Some small bones, heavily enameled pieces (same sheen as shark teeth), skate teeth, vertebra, turtle shell(?), bonita nose and stuff i see but don't know what it is...

bone2stone Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Nice bunch a teeth there. As small as they are it looks like you don't miss much. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowboater Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 The area I hunt has been picked over off and on for over 30 years. It's private land but kids in particular are always looking for big teeth. Me too, but I am happy when I find interesting small ones. They'll be going to an elementary school teacher in Singapore.
