If you collect fossils, post a picture of your best finds here.
The best shark teeth I've ever found.

Re: Fossil collections
Haha, no, its just a hobby I've been doing since I was 6 or 7. Paleontologists study prehistoric life, by the way. Archaeologists study prehistoric human culture and such
Re: Fossil collections
Beautiful collection, a surprising variety! My brother has all the paleontological genes, unfortunately for me, I only find barren stones!

Re: Fossil collections
I wouldn't say I'm a collector, but I do tend to pick up interesting fossils when I see them. Nothing as cool as shark teeth, though!

Re: Fossil collections
Actually. You can find those shark teeth on some beaches.

Re: Fossil collections
i found around half of my teeth just lying on the beach, the rest of my fossils and teeth were found digging in bluffs and sediment.

Re: Fossil collections
Thanks, Phillip. The three pieces on the left I found in a riverbed in Virginia. The two on the right on a lakeshore in Michigan. I don't know much about what they are, though.

Re: Fossil collections
My best find, from Virginia!
I've got a dozen or so megs, the others are smaller or more worn down.
Also 30 marine mammal verts and 1200 other found shark teeth, makos, tigers, etc.

Re: Fossil collections
Sweet, man! That is an amazing find, I've likewise found around a dozen megs but the are all broken except for the really small ones (my largest unbroken meg is > 1"). I recently found some sort of hip bone and a (speculated) giant sloth claw. Did you find it on the beach, scuba diving, digging, etc?
Anyways... if you are ever go down to Savannah, shoot me a message and I'll tell you some great spots for fossil hunting.

Re: Fossil collections
I found it in a clay block at a cliff base. I'd love to visit other locations, but it's harder with the baby now! I haven't been back to my usual spot in over a year.
