MeargleSchmeargl Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I'll try it out with this big fella: A whale vertebra (Squalodon sp?) with possible predation marks from The Miocene Hawthorne formation, in Summerville SC. December 30th Possible predation marks: Other marks, possible predation: Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.

TNGray Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 This month, we found our first Meg at our lot at the Slow Curve Quarry. Even though a mini-meg, I thought I would throw it into the mix! Its got nice color. Carcharocles megalodon Found on December 16, 2017 From the Miocene Round Mountain Silt Slow Curve Quarry, Ernst Quarries at Shark Tooth Hill Bakersfield California USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to submit my entry. This was found the first week of December in NE Oklahoma. Devonian to Carboniferous time. Just a small section was showing so I had to expose more. This is my first attempt with using an air scribe. It may not be the best and may not be done all the way. But it is something to share my accomplishment as a beginner. It looks to me like a Brachiopod and maybe one of the spirifer species. I know it can't compete with all the great finds and preps entered each month but last is better than not showing up. Please make your entry in the format stated in the rules of the contest. Thanks.

Macrophyseter Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 This will be my first go, seeing that the vert section is still scant, even though I'm probably not gonna win. Discovered: 12/27/17 Cosmopolitodus hastalis, narrow form Temblor Formation, Mid Miocene Ernst Quarries, Bakersfield, CA Measures exactly 1.75 inches (4.445 cm) If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!
