Rockin' Chica Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 OK Guys and Gals! I am headed to Gatlinburg and want to know the closest local that I can take my son fossiling for shark teeth! Gratitude and Well Wishes! Ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I don't know about shark's teeth, but Gatlinburg is known for gemstone mines.

JimB88 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) I don't know about shark's teeth, but Gatlinburg is known for gemstone mines. Gatlinburg is better known as a tourist trap.... As far as sharks teeth you can buy some from the aquarium there (fossil ones from Kansas) Im not sure where Franklin TN is so probably cant help unless its around Cumberland County.

Haizahnjager Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm not sure that the ###### Riviera produces many shark tooth specimens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Excellent photo! I do hope that was in some sort of a zoo or very controlled environment, or you were using a telephoto lens. It's very dangerous to get that close to a mom with cubs, even if it's "just" a black bear. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
