Shark Tooth Hunting in Florida Again

[PaleoCris]

We got out for another fossil hunting trip looking for shark teeth on dirt roads here in Florida. It was a HOT day, but thankfully, a storm moved in and cooled it off a bit. We found a mostly complete juvenile megalodon tooth, a great white shark tooth, a ton of whale bone, shells, etc.

Here's the vid, for those who are interested:



And for those of you who don't want to watch a video, here's some snaps taken from the vid:


A little lower front great white shark tooth.


Calcite crystals growing inside of an echinoid (sea urchin) fossil.


Some of the shark teeth from the end of the day...Mostly broken, but still a blast to find.

Prehistoric treasure hunting...I love it.

Awesome finds. We are taking a trip to the bay in Maryland this summer to look for sharks teeth. Hopefully it will be successful.

Thanks RiverRat3! Calvert Cliffs is a great place for shark teeth. I see people posting beautiful Miocene fossils from there all the time.

That’s where we are going. As a kid I went there numerous times to find fossils for my science fair project. Now I’m taking my kids.

That's great, RiverRat3! It was my parents taking me looking for stuff that instilled a lifelong passion for it, and through the pursuit of fossils, I've gained an even deeper appreciation for nature and science.

Congratualtions on the cool finds!

Thanks again Professor!
