Daltar08 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Hello All, I am a long time 'lurker' of this forum, and have been interested in fossils ever since I found my first shark tooth back in the 90s. I only recently got serious about the hobby in the last year and a half. And have spent a lot of time researching potential sites, and hunting (mostly with success). I generally hunt by canoe/kayak, and hunt in central VA and MD. Here are some of the display worthy teeth/fossils/indian pottery I have found in the last year and half. I am most proud of the Alopias, which was found in the same creek as the large warn Megalodon (5.25 inch). Goals moving forward Are to get into some new stuff, and currently need a couple more teeth such as an intact auriculatus, a GW, Parotodus B. etc. Edited June 23, 2023 by Daltar08 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patelinho7 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Welcome from MD/VA as well! While I do occasionally hunt for shark teeth like you, my focuses are the Mesozoic strata of the DMV. Feel free to ask me questions about that! The DMV has much more beyond Calvert Cliffs/Purse if you’re interested in that. I’m always looking to build a community of locals to expand our knowledge of a largely slept-on area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Trilo Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Welcome from Colorado! Nice collection, I like the variety of species and colors. “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor. It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Very nice! Welcome from South Carolina! Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.
