JohnJ Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Peter, You make it look too easy. I still think it would be wonderful if you could photograph smaller groups of your amazing finds. Again, most of us only find worn fragments of the incredible things you find complete. Thank you for showing them. :pic: The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Mike, I collecting this type and other fossil in Hungary but I do not know what I will do with them. I want to make a museum but in my Contry at this time, not enaught money for personal museum. I think if I have enaught time I start to make a WEB museum where I can show all fossils details. Kind Regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkfoam Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Peter, Fantastic is a word I do not use very often but your November finds are FANTASTIC! JKFoam The Eocene is my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I didn't think that Hungary was so rich in fossils. Great finds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Menser Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Years ago down in South Florida a guy expanded his love of Butterflies to the point where his home became an arborium and eventually thousands came to see it. Now it is a world famous attraction. It is quite possible, if you have the room to make part of your home a museum. If it draws enough attention perhaps funding may come for you to expand it elsewhere. Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jax Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Very cool! My question, when you find another tooth like, do you think to yourself, man, just another mammoth tooth.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Hi Peter, what a collection!!! Some followups questions on my posting from October where you mentioned having app. 300 complete mammoth teeth, and app. 700-800 broken mammoth teeth, and app. 20 half jawbone with teeth. Thanks for that info. Obviously you now have many more.... I'm curious on why these fossil deposits are so rich. Did all of these animals die in some type of sink hole where they may have fell in and accumulated over time? This isn't some mass death assemblage that occurred in a single event is it? Do you know any of the geology of these Pleistocene deposits? Thanks. Regards, Chris Edited December 18, 2009 by Plantguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 i really enjoy seeing this stuff, but i would like to see more of the various types of bones. i loved the pictures posted once of a bunch of cave-bear teeth and phalanges and stuff. i'm also curious regarding how much tusk material is found compared to tooth material. it seems tj and i have found a fair number of pieces of tooth material from mammoth/mastodon, but we've never found anything we've identified as tusk material. i guess just the difference between the resistance to destruction of enamel versus ivory. but anyway, podope, your fossiling opportunity is amazing. simply amazing. before you started posting, i had no idea that there was any place in the world like that.

Do you know any of the geology of these Pleistocene deposits? Thanks. Regards, Chris Hi Chris, The Gyorujfalu is very interesting locality. I do not know the exact geology of this place. There are 2 working pits and 3-4 not working. From working pits time to time I get the bones founded by workers. In not working pits left a big quantity big size gravels and mud. This gravel contains a lot of bones. I am diging this holms, but the better bones stay usually under wother. So I diving in this lakes. I think that is an app. 2 Mio old river deposit. The same place in Europe is not too rare. You can find deposits in Poland an in Germany. There are big quantity bones too.

Hi Tracer, The full mammoth tusk is rare in this pits. I have only 2. Usually I find the partial tusks. The condition of this tusks is not the better. I have to prepare them fastly.

I had to go back and see your other postings...didnt realize the variety and different ages you had already shown us. You obviously have the privilege of collecting at a very very special location. Wishing you continued collecting success! Let us know when the museum opens! Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
