britishcanuk Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I have these two Pseudogygites latimarginatus trilobites from Craigleith, Ontario that I would like to trade for fossil shark teeth. I’m looking for anything interesting, let me know what you have. Thanks for looking! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil-Hound Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 If they were complete I’d trade. Quality fossils get quality trades. :-) Do or do not. There is no try. - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality fossils get quality trades. :-) Just FYI, these are essentially complete for this species and location. One might wade through several thousands of moulted pygidia before landing a complete specimen. Also, the well known productive localities in the Craigleith/Collingwood area prohibit collecting as they are either part of the provincial park, or on private property (with posted signs warning would-be collectors to not trespass). Many excellent examples of this species in the collection of the Royal Ontario Museum were found at this location. Today, even some of the more "secret" spots are largely tapped out, and the lakeshore is almost entirely developed. Other locations that have this species, such as near Oshawa and in Ottawa, are not easy to access. In the upper Cobourg/Lindsay Fm, their preservation is more 3D, but access is limited. In the Whitby Fm, expect to go through serious volumes of shale in order to find complete ones. Also, it is not exactly polite to criticize the quality of a member's offering; if you're not interested, simply pass without comment. 11 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonianDigger Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Has anyone taken you up on this at all? What types of teeth are you looking for? I have a ton of teeth from Maryland, but nothing super exciting honestly. I am interested in these, but am not sure how I can win you over. PM me if you'd like, I can send some photos of things. I have an awful lot of different fossils. Perhaps I can find something that might strike your fancy. Jay A.

Fossildude19 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 These specimens are actually quite nice! Wish I had some shark teeth to trade.

Tidgy's Dad Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I agree with Tim. I'd have snatched them up if I had any spare shark's teeth. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality fossils get quality trades. :-) You must be fortunate to live in an area where perfect trilobites abound. As Kane said, partials far outnumber complete Pseudogites, and collecting sites are either off limits (Craigleith, Bowmanville) or are very transient construction sites (Ottawa). The two specimens on offer are quite nice. Don 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnbuckeye Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I have been collecting teeth in SW Florida with JCBShark for a few years now on our annual trip to get out of winter. Peace River finds are what is typically brought home. If interested, let me know. I do not think they are special (as in rare) but are nice. I could talk JCBShark into going after cookie cutter shark teeth if that interests you. They are not found routinely. Will be in Florida in 2 weeks so need to know soon if that is something you would like. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Can you give a suggestion as to what kind of shark teeth you want? Several member have offered what they have and you have passed them up. If you gave more details about what you want you might get someone interested in the trade. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

I am particularly interested in; Cretoxyrhina spp. Cardabiodon spp. Dwardius app. Megalolamna O. auriculatus, angustidens, chubutensis, meg C. hastalis, hubbelli, carcharias Alopias grandis Trigonotodus alteri Alopias palatasi North American Palaeocarcharodon North American Otodus obliquus I’d also be interested in anything unusual or scarce (ie Edestus). If what you have is worth more than my trilobites, I’m happy to balance it out with money. I’m not as interested in abundant species from commonly collected areas.
