makoken Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Yeah, it was a pretty good day! ~ Thanks for letting me come down. I'll post some of the important finds. I'm sure that is pet. wood, I was there I even used state-of-the-art technology to break it free from the rock. I can see why man started out using stone tools; I grabbed a nearby rock and split out a piece. The black tooth looks worn in this picture but really is not that bad. It turned out to be a 2". I picked up on of these rocks when I was down there ATL. I saw that there were larger rocks but chose to take a small one. I have no clue what this is and forgot to ask you. I found it in my pocket later and wondered what the green was in the stone. And no, it's not algae The rock could be moss agate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metopocetus Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Recent partial skull. I haven't talked to Stephen about it yet but I'm going to assume it is partial baleen whale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Is that a skull frag or a vert process?

Auspex Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 here is a little something from today, ill get to the post later, this is my meg, well one odd thing about it. Looks like the serrations go from fine to coarse abruptly! Can you post a pic of the whole tooth, with something for scale?

Metopocetus Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Happy New Year. First Fossils of 2009 for me. A large whale vertebrae found only feet from the partial skull I posted here a few days ago. No way to tell if they are associated but based on the location is it possible since large vertebrate fossils are fairly rare there. Also I found an Ecphora with 10 costa. The 4 main costa and 6 others squeezed in there. A few fish verts and small shark teeth came along too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Very nice way to start the year. Refresh my memory...how old are these fossils? The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bmorefossil Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 nice finds, really wish i could have gone, from what i have been hearing north end was the place to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metopocetus Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 nice finds, really wish i could have gone, from what i have been hearing north end was the place to go. Probably was. There was a good amount of gravel on the beach. But when it is that low there are way too many people on the beach and I'm not really into waking up at 4 a.m. to get to the beach and find 5 people with flashlights leaving.
