taj Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Very nice! I was up there last week in remote areas of Picardy for my job, unfortunately with no spare time to investigate... Next time I will reconsider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squali Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Nala, that is a beautiful Squalicorax. The Campanian is in my neighborhood as well. Our material has been reworked and teeth that pristine are rare. Thanks for the pictures. It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators.

JeepDigger Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 IMG_6899.JPG the game is to find the shark teeth First off, that looks like a spectacular spot! Congrats on finding a productive location close to home! I am curious, I have mostly Permian stuff around me (unless I drive 3-5 hours away) which is pretty difficult to hunt at times and generally has relatively low quality fossils. Certainly not so many quallity fossils in one piece of matrix! My question is, are shark teeth so prevalent in this formation that it is common to find disarticulated teeth from various species in such close proximity to eachother??? (if you can't tell, I'm a little jealous!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Gery.... Beautiful teeth... That sites certainly worth some attention.... Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nala Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Thanks Steve and JeepDigger,i don't know why this site is so rich in shark teeth,perhaps because not many people hunt in this really difficult to find location? I find many shells and parts of echinoids Also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Man, it looks like you have some really fun times ahead of you. I would love to find a spot like yours, especially if it is not bombarded with collectors like so many good areas are. Congrates! Have a ball!

donckey Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Wow, great spot you found yourself Are there also micro-teeth in that matrix? Good hunting at your "privat" spot in the coming future Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nala Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Thanks Foshunter,in few case the root is preserved specialy those collected on the matrix ,but most of the time the root is missing . Thanks Auspex and Roger Thanks Peter,yes there are micro-teeth in that matrix,and seems to be a lot of other micro-fossils also,the matrix is very rich.

Coco Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hi, Gery, your honey hole seems very rich ! Is everything well preserved ? Or then what is the proportion of the correct teeth ?

nala Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hello Coco,there are a lot of shark teeth but a very small number with the root,and the limestone is full of shell pieces,bryozoan,radioles,and i need to investigate more,there are also micro shark teeth.

Everhardus Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Very nice. Any thoughts on why the root of these teeth most of the time are missing ? I have seen the same on some other locations and don't quite undestand why. Funny to read that apparantly Patrick has been able to point you in the right direction, it's not his backyard by far..... greets,marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Wow, you are sure doing well with finding the shark teeth Gery!

nala Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks Marcel,Yes the frequent disappearing of the root is a mystery for me too,and i can witness of the dutch's friendship thanks Dave,at this moment, i have a dozen of big limestone blocks to explore at home and i spend my time with white hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
