putt510 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 This is the trip report from when I went to calvert cliffs on the wednesday after it snowed. That was a cold day, but quite productive. Once again, I had to leave very early to make that I was the first one, but not for very long. Her are the teeth finds of that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

putt510 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks folks. I think that the reason that I do so good there is because, a lot of the people that I see there are just teeth collectors. They dont seem to care about the bones there, because people have gone ahead of me and they somehow miss big bone fragments or verts that are right in the open. They just seem to want the shark teeth and shark verts. Even though there are so many more great fossils to be found there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

putt510 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Here is the last of the photos. I think that it may be the carapace of a turtle shell, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbshark Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Sorry, can't help with the ID's but nice finds nonetheless! Congrats! Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessed1 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Nice haul. I believe the bone in the first two photos in post#11 is a cetacean humerus. Here is what a complete one looks like. I'm sorry I don't have a photo showing the end view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsessed1 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I think it would most likely be too small for a whale. Maybe Bobby will check in and share more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Putt, I agree and I'm guilty of not picking bones, in fact some times I pick, clean and set them in a visible or higher place for others to pick up, I have a bunch or verts and my love is with teeth, so nowadays has to be of superquality, which is rare, reason being is my wife doesnt want more bones and one of these days she will kick me and the verts out the window, so yes I am bador maybe a wimp . Good job and great haul. MK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job and great haul. MK I know what you mean with the wife and larger fossils taking up more space. I will be likely trying to be more selective with which bone pieces or fragments that I take back. I would like to be finding more complete pieces of bone so I stand a better chance of identifying them. Being up in new jersey, I would really like to find fossils in fallen chucks of material , so I can work on them at home, when I am not able to get out to brownies, due to the costs of gas. I am planning on going down sometime within the next two weeks; I just need to check on the weather and tides to decide which day seems like the best. Have to make each trip count, since it costs almost a full tank of gas to get there, and I now have to wake up real early to make sure that I get there first.

JimTh Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 What do you guys wear in cold weather? I got to Brownies in October and it was warm enough to wade in Crocs. I'm guessing you're not in Crocs in January. Hip boots? Chest waders? I saw some people coming out in chest waders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I can tell you that you would only wear crocs in winter if you want to go numb, lol. In winter, you would want hip boots or chest waders, either work fine. If your feet get cold fast, make sure that the waders are insulated and that they don't leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
