sterny Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hello alltogether, I would like to introduce me as an fossil collector at tertiär, especially shark tooth at Oligocene to Miocene from Germany. I searched the internet for shark teeth in the US. I found impressive pictures from Florida/ Venice Beach, e.g. Hemipristis, Makos, of course MEG`s. MEG`s are really rare in Germany. You should be lucky, if you live in Florida and find so such great fossils. Best greetings sterny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Sterny --- Welcome !!! Kindred spirits. There is nothing quite like finding a large shark tooth. I admit to also being lucky to be so close to fossils. I will be interested in the posts on what you have discovered and your hunting techniques. What type of shark tooth in your Avatar photo? -- If I was not a newbie also, I would naturally recognize it The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THobern Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) 4 3/4" meg from a construction site Hamburg, Germany, 1988. Repair to right root lobe.

Auspex Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 But what mean "rics"? American slang for Carcharocles auriculatus "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!
