Angie Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hey everyone! I've been offline for a very long time (too long ), but I'm finally back in the fossil game! I celebrated the start of the summer vacation the right way with quite a few hunts in Antwerp, and those hunts didn't disappoint When in Antwerp I especially look for shark teeth, but we find other stuff as well (bones and teeth of mammals), which I might make another post about We've also been on a mini vacation to the Belgian Ardennes so stay tuned for more photo spam One of the first finds was this beautiful C. hastalis (bonus points if you spot the matching nail polish ) A pic of how we find them around here Had a lucky day when we found this P. benedeni! Another lucky day when we found this beautiful hastalis And another VERY lucky day when found this beast of a C. carcharias This is the first we've found in all those years of searching for shark teeth!! (they're very rare here in Antwerp) We just couldn't believe our luck with this one Can't wait to explore this location further the coming weeks I hoped you enjoyed this summary of our hunts! Of course we find more teeth than just the 'picture perfect' ones, but these are definitely the highlights Kind regards, Angie 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I would advice you to drive through the port and look for (piles of) sand with white shells and black phosphorite in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
