Sort of a duel show and tell. Hello, Caldigger In fact I don´t collect vintage toys… those are just a few from my childhood 14 hours ago, PaleoNoel said: Nice find! Thanks. I found a few more.

Max-fossils Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Very cool pieces! I’ll add a little something in myself. Nowhere as nice as the other stuff posted in the topic, but I found it today. I was just walking home from the bus stop, and there was some sand next to one of my neighbor’s house. The sand that’s used as construction helping material in the Netherlands is dredged from the North Sea, which is very rich in fossils (Ice Age mammals & Pleistocene seashells mostly). It was already dark, so I didn’t spend more than a minute looking through the sand, but I almost immediately found this little dude. Not a very rare species, and not a perfect specimen either, but still decent quality and a cool find for one in the middle of the city Mimachlamys varia Scallop The Hague, Netherlands Eem Formation Eemian, Pleistocene (120’000 y) Found today 8 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Brett Breakin' Rocks Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The best from today in the creek near Summerville .. Holy mother of all that is Unholy the water was cold. The gods were shining down on me today. This tooth is most likely recently washed into the creek because it isn't completely black. Best part was it came up as only a partial and missing a cusp/part of the root .. it always seems they are missing a cusp !!! .. ok, so fast forward 15 minutes. My 1/4" screen saved the day and I found the missing piece. Huzzah ! A miracle honestly. One of my best from this creek.
