paleosworld Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Hi everybody. I want to introduce myself. My name is Juanjo and I am a fossil collector of Spain. I am 43 years old and I like all kind of fossils. Sometimes I go to hunt fossils. But, of course, the best fossils I have, are purchased. It's time to show you the collection of fossils I have. Well, I start this topic today with my shark teeth. These are Carcharodon Megalodon teeth from the Miocene of South Caroline(EEUU) These are 2 small teeth. The black one Carcharodon Megalodon also from the Miocene of South Caroline (EEUU). The white one Carcharodon Carcharias founded by me in a beach of France. I hope you enjoy these photos. The next day I will show you more fossils of my collection. Greetings from Barcelona. Juanjo. Edited May 24, 2011 by paleosworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeDOTB Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hello Juanjo, Welcome to the forum. I have a comment for your last picture with the two "Small teeth". The " The white one Carcharodon Carcharias founded by me in a beach of France" definitely looks like a Carcarocles Megalodon. The shape definitely fits it and I have never seen a Carcharodon Carcharias with a bourlet like that. Is it just a very rare wear on the tooth to cause the enamel to do that? If there is no particular ware on the tooth in that area, you definitely have a meg and not a great white. Congrats though on the find! Its a good one nonetheless! MikeDOTB DO, or do not. There is no try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeDOTB Ok Mike, I'm not an especialist in shark teeth. Maybe I was wrong. Exactly the white tooth was founded accidentally walking along the beach in the south of France during holidays. Thank's for your expert opinion. So I change the classification. "The white one founded in France is Carcharodon Megalodon also" Thank's a lot. I start learning.

paleosworld Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Today I show you my Carboniferous fossils from Mazon Creek. As you know, this is one of the most world's famous sites where we can find perfect differents kinds of fossils. Mazon Creek is considerate like a "Lagerstätten" (Lagerstätten are deposits that exhibit extraordinary fossil richness and completeness This is a nice Neuropteris Leaf. One large Lepidodendron Bark. A nice nodule with a fern Annularia Blossoms. Two differents examples of Pecopteris. These are some of the Mazon Creek's fossils I have from Illinois State. Greetings from Spain.

paleosworld Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Very nice examples of those species; you are a discerning collector I try to have fossils from the most famous Lagerstätten sites of the world. And of course, from EEUU. Nice I want a Megalodon too, Where do you buy them?, was so expensive? About the plants, I love them all.. I work like gardener Regards from Spain: ¡¡ Ole Ole Paalla Toros!! jajaja Well, normally when I buy fossils, I do it in Exhibitions or by internet. You can buy easily fossils from EEUU or UK on Ebay, but be careful, sometimes you can find fakes. I only buy to sellers or web pages I know. The big and perfect shark's teeth normally are expensive, more than 100€. Greetings vecino. Edited May 30, 2011 by paleosworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantguy Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Nice collection of fossils! I especially like the plants from Mazon Creek--that is a very special locality with so much floral/faunal diversity. That Trigonia you have is a really good sized pelcypod/clam---I didnt know that the genus got that large. Nice specimen! Thanks for sharing all of them!
