WILDKYLE Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hey guys! I actually missed a week of uploading, but Cris and I got back at it and went to one of our new creek sites for some more exploration! Unfortunately, we gave it a good go and didn't find anything great. So we literally went after dark to some of our trusty old road sites where fill material is used as road fill. This turned out to be an absolutely amazing decision, and ended up being one of our best hunts on the roads to date! This video is chock-full of weirdness, and great finds! Give it a watch when you get some time 15 Fossil hunting from dawn til' dusk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Glad you got some nice teeth in the end ! What a great trip, loved the cowrie and the shell with coral on. The whale tooth is really nice too. Your enthusiasm is infectious. The orange stuff looks like slime mold to me! Nice. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Oh yeah I love getting some cool invertebrates too! We somehow forgot to get a clip of finding the whale tooth . And yeah, that stuff made me want to take a shower 1 Fossil hunting from dawn til' dusk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeR Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 If you are in North Florida then the shell bed is probably Lower Pleistocene Nashua Formation which contains a mix of tropical species found in the Caloosahatchee Formation further south and warm temperate species from the Waccamaw Formation in the Carolinas with a few endemics to the Nashua. The cowrie is Siphocypraea problematica, the shell with the encrusting coral (Septastrea marylandica) is Plicofusus scalarina, the volute is Scaphella floridana, and I also see what is probably Fusinus caloosahatcheensis which until recently went by the genus name Heilprinia. The tulip shell could be one of three different species based upon the protoconch (the very tip which represents the embryonic shell) but if I had to put a name on it I would say Fasciolaria apicina.
