Heat Report post Posted September 28, 2018 19 hours ago, Big Browns said: Lets see some pics. I was at work when I found it. Conducting a cultural resources survey of a project area. There were dozens of pieces scattered over an area maybe a couple acres. Only found a few pieces of skeletal bone but mostly pieces of the shell. We compared a piece of the scapula to a modern tortoise skeleton and it was almost identical, with the pieces we found being much larger, consistent with the fossil record of other mega sized critters of the Pleistocene era. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted September 28, 2018 Don't limit yourself to seashell hunting if you're interested in fossils. Seashells do not go through a mineralization metamorphosis like celled organisms do, they remain calcium carbonate and therefore not so rare. Petrified wood is highly collectable, especially if opalized. Keep an eye out for shark teeth Be careful where you step..geods or Dino-dung? Who can name the next specimen? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
