Cris Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well, Sundancer73 and I decided to get out this morning and hunt the creeks for a few hours before the rain moved in. Very glad we did, we had a great time and found a few nice little fossils. Got a couple of those "in-shovel" and "in-screen" shots for you guys. Afterward, Sundancer's wife let me hold Rose, her baby wallaby. Highlight of the day, she was awesome. First find of the day... Anyone that knows about Mid Miocene marine mammals, any clues as to what exactly this is? Nice little mako.. A completely undamaged one for once! "Oh PLEASE have the tip, PLEASE!" (Pictured middle top in the group fossils pics at bottom) Another one of those little whale teeth/whatever the heck they are. Group pic. And Rose! Oh, gosh dern it... There goes the trip report, people are gonna be commenting on the cute little wallaby more than the fossils! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cris Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Nice finds. How often do you curse the leaves? Often... Ya get one a different color and you could swear it's something good at first glance (They also get in the way really bad sometimes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorjames85 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Great trip. Everybody that hunts Gainesville seems to be obsessed with meg teeth, but I love finding mammal teeth and ones that size and condition are hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serack Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Nice maco finds. All my maco's are a steel gray to dark gray. Look like great whale teeth too. They seem to come in streaks for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
