PPL who collect fossils?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm planning on collecting some fossilized sharks teeth for a wearable piece soon. I also have some really large fossilized scallops that I found along a river bank.
 
I have some fossilized manatee ribs and a shard of mammoth bone in my bichir tank. My ex gf's parent were really into it and would go fossil hunting in a river here in Fl every year.
 
interesting. Dp so your going to get a megaladon tooth and make it a belt buckle? Kind of Danzig like lol.

Thalan, real mammoth bone in the tank huh? Here I am pricing the things for a fortune online.

Anyone else?
 
If I find a megalodon tooth it'll be worked into a shoulder piece, or something. What I have in mind is getting about 150 sand tiger teeth and "weaving" them into a draped torso piece, and maybe carry some over into an arm. I still have a whole catfish skeleton to use.
 
I just have ammonite shells, barnacles and other shells fossilized into rock, as well as fossilized algae. I also have a shard of buffalo leg which can't be more than 10 000 years old, dunno if it really counts as a fossil.

Yeah its nothing special, its just a fragment and looks like a piece of wood but the guy who runs the museum on the site confirmed it was bone and that the only animal large enough to produce a fragment that size would be a mammoth
 
I've found a couple in the river at the base of our property.

I would love to see pics. Of course they count, 10,000 years is a long time and an Epoch in which I love to think about. Im after some Mammoth teeth right now and and think I saw a set with a bison tooth as well. You should post pics.
 
i used to do it alot i just kinda lost intrest when i started fishkeeping but out here you could find 10 fossils a day...ya we're that loaded with them
