Guest bmorefossil Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 boys and girls round up your parents for fossiling on ice!!! Well not really but I did find myself on a foot of ice a few times today, but thanks to the waves that we had and the temp., most of ice melted away and boy did it pay off. We went to a new beach today and it was a real nice walk through the woods. We were finding teeth as soon as we got to the beach, they were everywhere, it got to a point that we wouldnt even pick up the worn or broken teeth just because it was not worth the trouble. We were finding so many nice teeth. We found a nice amount of otodus teeth along the high line so I decided to walk down the beach some and see if I could find anymore. After finding 2 more otodus I decided to turn around and look in the water some. Right in front of me was the huge otodus, just over 2 1/4" in length. So I decide to show my dad what I had found but he had something to show me, a Paleocarcharodon Orientalis!!! Not huge but at least we found one. I found 3 croc teeth and some partials today which is odd because I had not found any in the previous trips. Found some other nice teeth including a hound shark tooth dont know how that made it, must have been stuck to one of the larger teeth. What an awsome trip I love it when you go to new locations they are always fun when you try out a new area and this shows why!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh-Man Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Nice haul! I found a tooth today, too... but broke it. Those 1/4" teeth can be so delicate. Yes, I have tooth envy. I wonder if ambisol would work for that. What is geology? "Rocks for Jocks!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nicholas Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I'd fossil on the ice but it is about 3 feet thick on my spot! Great finds though, worth going in the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bmorefossil Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 well we were lucky, if there was no wind then it would have been the same for us, the wind brought waves that then broke the ice up, from there it was easy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for Posting so right after i made it over the really thick ice waves began to come and I found my feet stuck under the giant block of ice as it broke apart. So I finally get it free but now im standing on the 6ft. wide and long piece of ice as it floats away but I decide the jump off, I didnt want to become the next Rudolph as he floats on the ice. Shortly after that I did slip on the ice lol but....but!!!! I bought some new waders the night before, my first chest waders so they really came in handy haha!
