Wolf89 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hey everyone! About 2 weeks ago, the VERY generous @AshHendrick gave a portion of his Aurora pile, straight from the mine! I put it around a wood frame in my yard, and have hunted it for hours almost every day. This will be an ongoing thread, I will prob not update every day, but at least weekly. This is the pile. It's bigger than it looks in this pic (about 5.5 x 5.5 feet [a little less than 2 meters i think]) What I do is I sift into the bucket, so I don't go through it twice. I dump it somewhere else. Day 1 Coral Fish vert I think this is coprolite, but I'm not sure Turtle shell Cool rock with turritella another turritella Big steinkern Sorry about the blurry pic, the only one I took of the ray teeth The shark teeth Find of the day shark tooth in matrix the shells. Appreciate ID's That's day 1. more coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually found under the bed in the kids rooms. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max-fossils Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Awesome finds! That Squalodon is to die for. For the shells, it would be good to see some pictures of the hinges. I'll probs be able to ID them then. Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Rowboater Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Nice way to work through it and a nice haul! Does Aurora sell unsearched matrix or did your friend fill up something big and drag it to his vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
