SoreBack Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hello, I found this Monday, July 11, 2011. It has been identified, BIG thanks to Harry Pristis, as Daeodon Leidyanus (Entelodont). It is Miocene in age and was found in NJ along with several very cool Eocene\Miocene shark teeth. It came out clean as a whistle and no prep work has been done so far. To say that I was blown away when I found this would be an understatement! Thanks For Your Help and Consideration, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleecan Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Cool tooth! And you found an expert who answers there email (thats just as rare as that awesome tooth ) Thanks Jim... There is an interesting story to this... the Montreal curator on FB asked me to contact a particular individual who happens to be the Ottawa museum curator who has never seen a tooth like this before ( he has only 2 teeth in his collection from this area) and deems it a find of scientific importance and merit; and he forwards email to NY curator who inturn forwards my email to the world expert on sharks way out in Poland so I had a lot of outside help from people that I don't know.... I learned something.... God opens doors : ) ... and the impossible becomes reality. PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyomingRocks! Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hello, my entry for the July FOTM is a 2 5/8" Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth that I found. I will show the in-situ photo of it and then photos of all sides. I have had a paleontologist in Montana and a geology museum in South Dakota look at it for the correct identification. I have wanted a T-Rex tooth for quite a while and have now personally found my own. This one has good coloration too. It was a good day!

cowsharks Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Uh oh, I think I see a battle between Rick's huge Great White and Stephen's huge T-Rex on the horizon. Once again, some really awesome finds from all this month. Daryl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeDOTB Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Both are amazing finds, I will be torn on which one to vote on. A prize dinosaur find, or a prize shark tooth find. Both bring prestige and glory to any collection... Thats it, someone needs to beat both of those finds and make this months voting easier. Someone go out and find a complete and perfect associated meg dentition. Right now. I mean it! DO, or do not. There is no try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeloiVarden Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Here is my entry for fossil of the month. I realize that there is steep competition this month, but I can't control which month I found it. I am glad that many of my fellow fossil collectors appear to also have had a great month. 6.05" Carcharocles megalodon shark tooth Miocene to early Pleistocene Near Charleston, SC Found 7/18/11 Happy Hunting!

piranha Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Here is my entry for July FOTM. Collected 7-10-2011. Another lovely plant fossil so there will be representation in the category. After seeing all of the incredible invertebrates so far this month, I figured, why bother? Today I figured, why not? After all, this was one of the most difficult fossils I have ever collected. It was a 2 mile hike to an 800 foot steep serpentine ascent. Most of it through thick foliage and thorny denim shredding briar patches. On the way out we encountered fresh bear tracks! Next time the bucket will stay at home as it kept smashing my leg leaving a bruised welt the size of a cantaloupe. Big Ouch but well worth it! These particular examples are preserved in silicified chert. Amazingly, when I split this specimen open the matrix appeared as a deep black-purple color. As the water content evaporated the matrix turned to a gray-white color within a few minutes of being exposed. Each part and counterpart leaf is unaltered & unbroken and residing on 2 inch thick matrix chunks and displays perfectly. One day with a little luck I will discover a plant that rates with the arthropods! Good Luck to all.
