Actually, I do. These specimens must be brought straight to me before they are allowed to leave the country. Generally, i will swap them for a bit of dodgy mosasaur jaw or two. Life's Good!

DPS Ammonite Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Adam moonlights as a customs official. He always makes sure that you pay your duties (to him.) My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

Haravex Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Jokes aside this has so far 5 caudal vertabrae in perfect death position I am carefully working away little by little, and when I get back to England I am taking this specimen to the Liverpool museum and try to get information on if this species is described and if not will put for the name to be after the miner (son) who found it.

Haravex Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Here is the prep so far also got a table full of fossils now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 The really impressive ones are bought but found a few croc and spino teeth not one ablesauride tooth this time but a nice pterosaur tooth and lots of fragments not pictured including lots of tiny fish teeth showing how to use a pan sifter (don't know if it is called something else) you would be surprised the amount of small coprolites are missed but the larger ones are displayed in this picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Quite a haul! Looks like it was a productive trip. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Miocene_Mason Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Nice! Finding a spino tooth is an experience many here ( including myself) will probably never have. “...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...

MarcNL Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Really nice finds. Do you have experience with guided fossil hunting tours in Morocco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner64 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 @Haravex you have some incredible finds from your digs . Since you live in the UK, have you ever thought of making a visit to the IOW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
