I figured, but wasn't sure if there was something else. That certainly is near the top of a list for "ones that got away" though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Menser Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Kind of a sentimental favorite. I collected this huge Mammoth tooth in NE Broward County (Parkland) Florida, which makes it a very very rare find. It was collected from the surface layer which was wet swamp muck; so that it had not disintigrated like the other fossils we found there is another rarety. In fact, it was found in three pieces so I did the repair. Finally, I was collecting with a good friend who is a Geologist and eagle eye lucky when it comes to finding any fossil...which made my finding it add the sauce to make this my favorite.

What did you use to stabilize it Frank? Was it waterlogged?

Frank Menser Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 When I found it the tooth was in three pieces, having been deligated to a spoil pile ala bulldozer. It had a lot of water in it so I first set the pieces out for a few days till they dried. I then reattached the sections using good ol ELMER'S GLUE. Finally I lightly sprayed the piece with KRYLON FIXATIF. I like that because there is no gobby thick layers of preservative so it looks much more natural. I also used it on this tusk I found in WPB.

eaglephot Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi everyone! I am new here and just joined yesterday. Here is one of my favorite fossils. My favorite is a complete, fully agitized Miasaura vertebra. It is about 17" tall with all three processes, nice big centrum. I'll try to get pics on later of that. Here are pictures of my newest. It is a Spinosaurus jaw section with a fully rooted (almost) 7" tooth. You can see one small tooth under the jaw that never came out. I love being able to see the root.

jpc Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Hey I recognize that pair of seal (?) jaws. Didn't the great RJB himself sjow those on the old CAlif Fos Firum? Asking for a favorite fossil... geez, that's like asking for a favorite Grateful Dead song... depends on the mood. I've tried to post pix on here before with miserable (failed) results, but one of my many faves is this Leptictis skelton I collectesd and prepped about 15 yrs ago. This thing inspired me to buy an air abrasive machine and all that goes with it. I hope these attachments work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I'm still getting the hang of this forum. My last comment was regarding the seal jaws Boesse posted on page one of this thread. As for posting pix, looks like I have no idea how to do it. So, there's this Lepticits skelton in my collection. When I found it I saw just a cross section of one tail vert sticking out of the cliff. I went to collect it and the pice that broke off showed an articulated series of tail verts. It turned into a comlete skeelton. Wicked cool. The croc jaw that I won't show pix of either is also one of my faves. Both took about 100 hrs of per to make them look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
