Pool Man Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hello all! Here's a few pics from my latest dive. I had no idea the "chunk of wierd looking bone " I picked up was a horse mandible fragment with the last molar still in it. Its a first for me! Enjoy! Isolated tooth found near jaw fragment 1 3/4" Mako found on last weeks Venice Dive Odd shaped black non-bone material with nifty looking barnacles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I really like the jaw frag with the side of the tooth exposed.

Roz Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Poolman Very nice finds you have there! I was wondering, if diving in a place maybe just 6 feet deep, and the water is almost black with film, would you actually be able to see anything through a mask? At the deepest part? There is a place in AR where I have found some of my favorite fossils and while most of the creek is very shallow, one spot maybe 8 or 10 feet round is very deep. I have the feeling some good fossils may be at the bottom. Maybe it is possible to see things even if the water is very dirty? You that dive might have the same conditions in places.

Pool Man Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Roz- It sounds like you might need a light to see well. Even with the worse vis in the gulf I can see enough, but in tannin stained water I would bet it would be pretty dark. I would try it, with as much direct sun as possible,because you know thats probably where the good stuff is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Man Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 last thing - maybe a phosphate nodule? dunno. It definatly possibly maybe could be. Most of the black non bone stuff in florida seems to be phospate of some kind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Yeah, I sense very good stuff down there! I'll get a light....Thanks! Roz, if it's not flowing, then I wouldn't go under....

Roz Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Roz, if it's not flowing, then I wouldn't go under.... Why John? It isn't flowing, just a large stagnant spot..but the rest of the creeks flows at times. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
