WILDKYLE Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Hey TFF Members! Last Tuesday after work I was experiencing fossil withdrawals and needed to get my fossil fix! I didn't have a ton of time, but I took my camera to the creek and set out to find some fossils! I ended up finding some pretty incredible stuff. I documented some of what happens before getting to the creek as well. Hope you all enjoy it! 2 1 Fossil hunting from dawn til' dusk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely enjoyed it！I really love the contents you and Chris are producing. Lot of fun to watch and it is a pleasure for the eye to see such beauty emerging from the gravel. I hope we would have this kind of creek here in Japan too unfortunately it is just incredibly hard rocks hidden in the forest. already waiting for the next episode, David 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~〇~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warmest greetings from Kumamoto、 Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I'll bet Chris isn't so thrilled you obtained such killer fossils on your impromptu exploit and he got to go clothes shopping. I imagine jealously abounds! As always, loving the vids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get back on his good side by mounting this tooth as a pendant and wearing it on a necklace (outside of your shirt) on all future fossil hunts with Cris.

Tidgy's Dad Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Love the Delphinodon tooth and the dolphin jaw as well as the three-toed horse tooth. Good to see the return of Duckman too. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD1991 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 In case anyone's aware, Godfrey and Lambert (2023) treat Delphinodon and its type species D. mento as a nomen dubium and henceforth erect Brevirostrodelphis for Delphinodon dividum. Since Delphinodon is now restricted to the type species D. mento, it is unclear if the odontocete tooth shown in the video posted on this thread is from Brevirostrodelphis rather than Delphinodon.

By intent, or accident? Precious, either way. 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just looking into this topic last night because @PaleoBri found another a beautiful little specimen yesterday that may be the same as the one in this video. I was not aware of what was mentioned above. Now, to find that paper and read it for myself...Hmmm EDIT: Ah, there's a whole topic with a download link to the paper HERE.
