Some Things I've Found

Here's some fossils I've found in the past year. I haven't been into this for very long, so my collection isn't half of what you guys' collections are.. I'm more of a vertebrate fossil collector than an invertebrae collector, but I still enjoy it all..

I live in North Central Florida and hunt the rivers and creeks for the vertebrate fossils and sharks teeth.. My better echinoids come from a sinkhole on private land that I have access to.

I've posted a couple of these before, but a bunch I haven't. Oh, and any of you guys that're interested in fossils, click my personal website.

Vertebrae on Creekbed.jpg
The one on the left was found by my brother-in-law about 10 feet from where the two other items were found... Two of the pieces on the right fit together, and the other seems to be from another tooth of the same animal.. This was all found in 2 trips.

Here's the one that got me into fossil hunting.... The first time I ever went to this creek, I fanned the bottom of it... out came a few rocks and this..

Mammoth 007.jpg
Here's a whale vert as I found it... Sitting straight up out of the water..

Happy hunting,
Cris

WOW !!!! They are all fantastic finds but I think I like that giant coral head the best. It's perfect!
