Trevor Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Hello everyone, I was wonder what to look for in Aurora spoils. I know what the ray plates & teeth, sea urchin spikes, crocodile & baracuda teeth are, and all sharks teeth except for the really small ones are. I went there about three weeks ago, so the stuff is kind of old. Any pictures of anything else would be great!

zachj Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 if you plan on making a trip all the way up from nj to the current spoils......thats not smart. The piles are like 2 month's old and this years spoils were not good. And bring material home with you when you leave the piles and look for micros one day i will find a tooth over 3 inches in good conditon haha.

powelli1 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hi Go to the Aurora Fossil Museum Web page and then the ID link and you will see a lot of what you can find in the spoils you took home. Next time you get down to NC I would like for you to come and see my collection in Greenvill,NC. I have around 100,000 fossils in it and most are from Aurora. Enjoy your spoils.

Trevor Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hello powelli1, when I went to Aurora I also went to Greenville and found some good stuff. I will go and look on the website and identify things. Also, how do you look through the material? I have a big sifter with a plastic bin under it and then take that stuff in the bin and sift through it with smaller holes. I am sorry, but I am not going to Greenville in awile, but if I do I will contact you. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zachj Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 to look through the spoils first use a 1/4 screen and let the smaller stuff fall in the bin. Then with the ben dirt put it through a 1/16 inch screen or a window screen and search for micros. one day i will find a tooth over 3 inches in good conditon haha.

Trevor Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Okay Zachj, I will do just that. I will also gently hose it in my smallest screen so it is easier to see. Thank you for the info : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
