Wrangellian Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Thanks Monica.. it's one of the few complete ones we found, and the biggest. So the trip was basically successful, but I didn't come home with a bunch of complete ones for trading like I had hoped (but didn't expect). Lots of partials of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you take photos while you were fossil-hunting? I'd love to see them if you did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 @Natalie81 I love Maastrichtian marine fossils, and you just scored a wonderful one! Those turtle bones are amazing - wish I could find that type of stuff at the Danish Maastrichtian site I work at Great discovery!! -Christian 3 Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

This turtle is an iconic species for me, whenever I think of Late Cretaceous seas I picture this species (perhaps with a mosasaur thrown in for good measure).

Miocene_Mason Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Here’s a rare tooth I found with @Gizmo, thanks to him for such an awesome trip! Can’t wait for the next one. Species is rare enough I had to write the Wikipedia article for it. 8/5/19 Carcharocles aksuaticus Woodstock Member, Nanjemoy FM, Ypresian, Eocene Maryland 12 “...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...
