Shellseeker Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Out hunting today. Friend Dave, last hunt of the Season, a snowbird heading North. I was not finding much and he was, so he invited me to come dig in the hole he created. I started finding interesting fossils and , kept on thinking I am about to find a really good , rare fossil. I found some shark teeth and even a Meg. I found some pieces of Mammal teeth and a piece of fossilized wood.... A pretty little Glyptodon osteoderm A couple of Bullas, One Dolphin, maybe Stenella... The other... Whale.. Interesting .. Do whale Bullas come this small. Finally, I stopped looking for that "special" fossil.. I was hunting my favorite river, with a friend, it was warm and the sun was shining.... An unusual thing happened. Fred Mazza charters Peace River Fossil Hunting. As we were hunting a large group passed by. One women did a double take as she paddle a canoe past us and said to me " I know your face." As she passed she asked "Are you on some blog"? Answer: I am Shellseeker on TFF. Response I knew it was you!!! I think she recognized my Avatar... Black Wetsuit and baseball cap... Enjoy. 1 10 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty neat, maybe there's a complete Mastodon molar in that spot... You did say you felt there was a ''special'' fossil somewhere there 1 -Jay “The earth doesn't need new continents, but new men.” ― Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly a coincidence , but the above Mastodon Tooth was found March of 2012, In the Peace River at a location 1/4 mile upstream from where I was digging today. It is the power of positive thinking!! 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automech Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Jack, that is a incredible coincidence. When we have visited my wife's aunt & uncle in Ft. Pierce, our uncle would take us out with Fred. Since 2009, alternating every 2 years until 2016, we would do walk-ins with Fred. He's a great guy. Do you know him personally? Is he even a TFF member?

Sorry for delay.. Out hunting again today . I have known Fred for at least 10 years. He has those green canoes and seems to be always on the River. His group would pass by me and my partner frequently, like 3 times a week. We would sometimes discuss fossils we had found and treat each other with a lot of respect. Fred is not a TFF member. 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
