Trip to Florida last week was quick and exhausting. Wimped out on the planned Peace river trip, as was in 30s unexpectedly and I had not brought appropriate clothes. Instead did nearby Bone ValleybFossil Farm and enjoyed the day sitting in a lawn chair with a hose, washing out material (laziest AND muddiest fossilhunting ever). Couple next to me found 2 megs, I found three partial megs, dolphin tooth, partial whale tooth (?), fish plate, and about 20 other partial and complete shark teeth (bull, lemon, hemi). Found small piece (2?) of mastodon/mammoth/gomphothere tooth, pretty color and thick, but not enough material to distinguish. And a partial bison(?) In addition found several larger coral pieces in mixed rock/gravel/debris along road near Ft Myers. (weather damaged, construction damage, but good for my collection)! One small mystery piece there, too.

Hey guys! I headed out in Venice, Florida this weekend for the first time ever and went scuba diving for shark teeth. This was my first real trip looking for shark teeth and it was an amazing time. I went for a 3 dive trip but due to weather we only got two of the three dives for the day unfortunately. Although it was cut kinda short I had an amazing trip. I found 7 full Megalodon teeth and 14 frags of Megalodon teeth. My biggest being exactly 4" which I am still ecstatic for finding. I found a handful of other miscellaneous shark teeth and honestly I could of found hundreds and hundreds but I was really focused on finding the megs so I started passing them up as it was kinda hard to pick them up with the gloves I had on. Also pictured I have 3 pieces of Dugong bone and two pieces of whale bone. These bones where everywhere and I just didn't feel like collecting a hundred pounds of Dugong and whale bone. Also with the bones are a few assorted shells that I picked up while I was finding the teeth. If you have any cool facts about what I found of any identification for the miscellaneous shark teeth and the shells I found that would be amazing! I know the Sand Tiger teeth and the normal Tiger Shark teeth but I'm not sure what any of the other ones are. I think top right is a broken Hemi but I'm not positive. Let me know if you have any questions as I would be happy to answer! Parker

I’m heading to The Netherlands at the end of March. Does anyone have current information on the best sites to collect shark teeth or other fossils? Thanks!

Before going back to the ESCONI Gem and Fossil Show, I decided to leave the house early and make the 75 minute trip to Oglesby, Illinois to a roadcut that I like to collect and was last there 19 days ago. This roadcut, exposes the Pennsylvanian LaSalle Member of the Bond Formation. Within those 19 days, portions of the head wall came down, dropping several thousands of pounds of rock. As I have stated in previous posts, this is not a road cut for younger collectors and people who are not sure-footed. Here are a few pics of the exposure as I found it this morning. This tree branch….. broke off of this tree after being hit but a lot of rock. The rock that I am holding broke off of the larger piece in the background during the fall. The large boulder in the left of the picture that has my Estwing stick on top fell all of the way down to the base of the cut. I am guessing that it is a distance of about 50+ feet. Here are a couple pictures of some of my finds. Three different species of brachiopods in this freshly freed piece. Here is my first Conularida and it is next to an inarticulate brachiopod. I will post a better pic at the end of the post.

An interesting article on the morphometrics of C. megalodon teeth from Italy Fossil teeth of Carcharocles megalodon: The Collection of the University Museum of Chieti (Italy).

Hi guys I’m from NSW Australia and have been finding teeth for the last couple years and just wondering if someone can help identify a tooth and two vertebrae. Thanks!

Wanted to share one of my first trips to a new location I went to last year. I was only checking the area for fossil evidence and was blown away at what I found. I was there for 2.5 hrs and could not believe what I left with. Completely surprised and could not be happier. This place has stayed on my mind ever since. lol. <·,^ ><

I have here two shark teeth from the Cretaceous of Texas that I'm hoping to ID. #1: Dwardius ?woodwardi? The first tooth below is from Dallas, TX, from a buffer zone between the Eagle Ford and Woodbine formations (i.e., late Cretaceous, ~90-96 mya). I previously posted this tooth in the mailbox score thread and the @ThePhysicist tentatively IDed it as Dwardius (woodwardi?) but recommended posting it in the ID forum. I'm finally getting around to doing that! This tooth measures 25 mm on the slant. #2: Cretoxyrhina ?mantelli? I don't have as much info on the next tooth below. I acquired it last year from the estate of a Dallas, TX, fossil collector. I don't have any other details, but it was most likely collected from a site in North Texas. I've tentatively IDed this as Cretoxyrhina mantelli teeth; if that's the correct ID, it would be the first one in my collection with cusplets. This tooth measures 29 mm on the slant. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Sometime last week I went to a creek in Southeast Alabama to find shark teeth. I got thirty nine teeth and what I believe is a partial glyptodon scute. I believe that the majority are sandtiger teeth (but from YouTube and online images could be goblin) and a few mackerel shark teeth. I also got my first tiger shark tooth from this site. I was hoping someone here could help identify the scute and supposed sandtiger teeth.

Fossil Hunting Holiday at Beaumaris, Australia - Dec 2018
Paleoworld-101 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
As the year comes to a close i decided to do a bit more collecting at one of my favourite Australian sites: Beaumaris near Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. Once again i travelled down and stayed at a motel near the beach for three days (27/12/18 through to 29/12/18). This trip is a sequel to the previous two trips i have made here which are also posted on the forum: Jan 2016 trip: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/61248-fossil-hunting-holiday-in-victoria-australia-dec-2015-jan-2016/ Feb 2017 trip: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/71996-fossil-hunting-holiday-at-beaumaris-australia-feb-2017/ Beaumaris is a significant site with both marine and terrestrial fossils from the latest Miocene aged Beaumaris Sandstone Formation (5 - 6 million years old), which crops out in distinctly red-coloured coastal cliffs and also in offshore rocky reefs. An impressive diversity of both vertebrate and invertebrate fauna occurs here, and the Melbourne Museum has put together a neat PDF of the fossil diversity for those unfamiliar with the site (https://www.bcs.asn.au/fossils_of_beaumaris_2015-02.pdf). My plan was to collect every single low tide across these three days, and sleep during every high tide. Yes, this meant going out collecting in the middle of the night too! My main interest was to collect shark teeth, however they can be tough to find here and are certainly not as common as at many other sites internationally that the people on this forum would be more familiar with. This often seems to be the case with Australian vertebrate fossils. It does however make it quite rewarding when you do eventually find them! The first day of searching (27/12/18) proved to be rather disappointing. I finally got to try snorkelling for fossils, which is a popular method here for finding things exposed along the seabed, but alas after about 3 hours in the water i had not found any bones or teeth. I was unable to locate the nodule bed where most of the vertebrate fossils originate from, which i think played a part in my lack of success. The seabed was also quite sanded over and it was hard to see much. I was definitely out of my element here, but it was also a lot of fun to get close to some of the local marine life, including stingrays! I decided to return to land collecting after not doing very well in the water and when i did so my luck changed greatly. The next two days and nights of land collecting (28/12/18 and 29/12/18) proved to be much more successful and i even got to meet two TFF members on the beach (coincidentally)! @Echinoid and @Tympanic bulla were also out looking, and we had a nice chat before they headed off to continue snorkelling. I then spent most of my remaining time on the beach flipping rocks and examining the pebbles up close, ultimately finishing the trip with a total of five shark teeth which i was very happy with! Carcharodon hastalis tooth as found. 24mm long. Large Carcharodon hastalis upper anterior tooth, as found at 2 am (with a head-torch) on 29/12/18. Measures 56 mm long. I had long been waiting for a tooth of this size! Carcharodon hastalis posterior tooth as found. 15 mm long. Another Carcharodon hastalis posterior as found. 13 mm long. And a small fragment of cetacean bone. Worn pieces like this are the most common vertebrate fossils at Beaumaris. Pictures continued in the next post

3-1-22 Oglesby, Illinois Pennsylvanian Roadcut Collecting
Nimravis posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
On Sunday I took trip to a roadcut that I like to collect. This roadcut, about 75 minutes from my house exposes the Pennsylvanian LaSalle Member of the Bond Formation. I have been to this site numerous times, as have @deutscheben and @connorp. If you search using the word “Oglesby”, you will find numerous posts with some great stuff that comes out of this roadcut. Well back to the post. On Sunday the site still had too much snow cover to try and collect at this location, so I left. So today I had a choice, go to the Mazon Creek area since it was the official opening day for the collecting season or head out to Oglesby. I choose Oglesby and I was the only person there. I spent a few hour searching, cracking and collecting at the site. Found the usual suspects in brachiopods, collected some, left most for others. Found a slab of rock that had fallen off of the head wall a few years ago, but this thing I decided to break it up. I found numerous, what I believe are shark teeth, some I know for sure, others not too positive. Unfortunately, nothing was complete. If I would have broke it up a couple years ago, the biggest one might have been intact and complete, but who knows. Here are a couple pics the the site. Here are some pictures of fossils, as stated previously, I did not collect all of these.

From the album: Sharks
I ran out of room in the other display, so I split the collection into extinct/extant species. I probably still need another riker! For scale, the big great white tooth is about 2 1/4" slant height. In red are species that are endangered or critically endangered. The only teeth I regret having are the modern Makos, I had gotten them for comparative reasons (both are anterior, left is upper, right is lower). The fossil Mako is actually an I. desori (a big one!), but I included it since it's so morphologically similar to the extant species, and a few people would say they're synonymous. Species included (obviously will grow): Alopias superscilliousus Alopias cf. vulpinus Sphyrna zygaena Sphyrna mokarran Carcharhinus obscurus Carcharhinus plumbeus Carcharhinus brachyurus Carcharhinus falciformis Carcharhinus leucas Carcharodon carcharias Carcharias taurus Galeocerdo cuvier Isurus oxyrhinchus Lamna nasus Negaprion brevirostris Rhincodon cf. typus
