Hello friends, Found this on the beach this morning. I often find whale bone fragments on this beach, but this one is much more interesting than most. There is obviously a large portion that is broken/worn off along the entire bottom edge, but there are some fairly distinctive details that make me really curious about this one. Especially the large concave surface on one side and a small vertebrae-like surface on the opposite side. Any help/hints are appreciated.

Fossil Hunting Trip on the shores of Lake Michigan, Illinois December/5/2022
Joseph Fossil posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
On Monday I went on a little trip to one of my top secret places to fossil hunt on the shores of Lake Michigan. It's a small beach in Northeastern Cook County, Illinois which I've always found lots of Silurian aged fossils. (1) This trip was no different!! https://silurian-reef.fieldmuseum.org/narrative/392 I found a large amount of small but pretty interesting Silurian fossils which demonstrate the diversity of reef supported aquatic life in the Chicago land area 444 to 419 million year ago during the Silurian era!

Ideas re Florida tours, scuba diving/snorkelling, accommodation with attitude this December 2022?
pembrokeflyingnurse posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I am an enthusiastic amateur fossil collector and I have the opportunity to pop over to Florida for ten days (from Wales) after just retiring from nursing for 45 years. I am a solo traveler and would like some suggestions of unique accommodation, best places to visit in December 2022 for fossil collecting. I am an inexperienced padi diver but have just renewed my practice. Any suggestions would be appreciated rather than the usual places you see on face book etc.- 1 reply

I have just researched what to look out for when hunting ammonites and other fossils and I read that they can be found in and around the Great Ocean Road but does anyone know any spots that had a high concentration of them?

Hi all, I plan on being in the Charleston SC area next week. I've seen some of the other posts about fossil hunting near where I am staying and I plan on going to those sites and tours. Anyone have any tips in general? Or places near Charleston that are worth visiting. I'm going to be staying at Isle of Palms, which is right next to Charleston. (If this has been posted before and I just looked over it a link is also much appreciated.) Thanks;

A few weeks ago I went to Florida with my family members and a few friends, where we searched endlessly for sharks' teeth. After searching some dunes after a big local storm hit our private beach, we had pretty good results. I was wondering if any of you readers could identify some of the shark teeth I found, but ignore the shark jaws and striped skunk skull, as well as the giant top left tooth, which is a replica, (they are just other items in my collection) also I've identified the three largest as Bull sharks' teeth, but I've never identified this many teeth before.
