emmytee Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 i just remembered about this today... and started my search for the bowl. i acquired a large fishbowl full of shark teeth that my grandmother gave to me probably 7 years ago. she used to have a house in florida and i guess she went to the beach alot to collect these teeth. i found the bowl and i have just started to sort through the pile and i already have a few nice ones in good condition. not very big, but some are still serrated. here's a few pics the first one is of the huge bowl i still need to sort through! the second one is the pile of broken or worn ones... the third one is of the good ones i've picked out... some are in nice condition, and some are worn with just cool colors. and the little brown circle in each picture is a penny. sorry the pictures are fuzzy, im using my webcam... ill get my hands on a better camera soon I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day. ~ E. B. White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole20200 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 That is a lot of teeth, and just like, all you have let is to sort and catalog them... Fossil, it's like a rock, but better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmytee Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 That is a lot of teeth, and just like, all you have let is to sort and catalog them... yeah about that.... any suggestions for how to organize them and what to put them in?

Northern Sharks Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 yeah about that.... any suggestions for how to organize them and what to put them in? Google "Riker Mount" It's a black framed box with a white foamish liner. They can be wall mounted as the lid is held on with pins and they come in several sizes. http://www.buriedtreasurefossils.com/Displ...ial_catalog.htm There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bmorefossil Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 yeah about that.... any suggestions for how to organize them and what to put them in? i would find some buckets or something for the common teeth, when you get some large teeth its nice to use riker mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 BTW, in order under the ziploc bag, you have a Hemipristis serra (Snaggletooth shark), a pair of Galeocerdo cuvier (Tiger shark), I believe a small Isurus hastalis (Mako shark), a group of Carcharhinus species (most, if not all are lower jaw teeth), another Hemipristis and finally another Galeocerdo cuvier.

barefootgirl Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Those are really nice. Good luck on your collection.

Kind regards Gethin i don't think we're even quite yet. my grandmother found all of these in florida. all i did was look in the basement and find the bowl sitting there. i have yet to experience the excitement of finding my own fossil.
