An angy with great color and lightning.  Most of the serrations are present, the tip has some feeding wear, and the root some cracking.  The tooth has an interesting curve to it.

I also had the pleasure of going on a Father’s Day trip this past weekend, but on Saturday.  My trips have been few and far between because of my daughter’s fastpitch softball travel and high school commitments and my related coaching commitments, and also HS graduation too.

A nice spearpoint made from local chert.

A smaller angy, but great river quality.  Both cusps, tip, full root and almost all the bourlette! There is some streaking near the tip as well.

Nice craftmanship on this Kirk projectile point.

Its that time of the year again - where the thoughts and fancies of fossil fantatics like myself turn to the river. The Edisto is warm enough now to accomodate divers, so da fossz and I headed out to try our luck. It was beautiful weather - radiant sun with no clouds whatsoever. With such bright sun, we had fantastic visibility. We explored new areas and found all kinds of great fossils laying out in the open, ripe for our eager plucking fingers. Like always I brought my underwater came...

I look forward to a day when I find one this big in a lot better shape.

When I was a kid I used to curse the rain. What was I thinking? Rain is great! It poured again yesterday so guess where I went? Besides Moe's. Yep, the ditch. It makes me glad to be alive, Teeth everywhere and all I have to do is pick them up. My best find today was a stunning little angustidens right out of the layer. Beauty of a ground shot too! It still amazes me every time we go to this spot just how much there is to be found. It just keeps on producing and we keep on finding the fo...

Here's a couple pics of stuff I found over the last month.  More to come...

First pic is Miocene stuff from Calvert cliffs.  Second pic is Paleocene stuff from the Potomac River.

I like the assortment of stuff that I can find at these spots.  If I sift long enough, I usually come away with a few nice specimens, even if they are small or uncommon.

In early 2009 I found a really odd looking tooth along the Maryland side of the Potomac River.  At first I thought it was a "modern" tooth from some sort of mammal that died along the river, but it passed the fossil test "sound" when I tapped it against my rake.  I didn't think much of it at the time and still wasn't 100% sure it was a fossil, but I kept it anyway.  I showed it to one of the geologists/paleontologists that attend...

I feel like I have awoken from hibernation. It seems like forever since I’ve hunted fossils because there just hasn’t been anywhere to go. With little rain, no dig sites, and the rivers still too cold to dive I’ve been in a state of paleo depression. But the day before yesterday, the sky opened up and dropped several inches of rain in a few hours. Yesterday I awoke at the crack of dawn to take advantage of a rare opportunity to get out and find some fossils!

I arrive...

I had a great time collecting with my daughter recently on our trip to the Bay.  At least now I know that my next fishing trip won't get hexed!  I also met two BRF members, Daryl and Johnny.

My daughter and I were working our way slowly along the cliffs, she going faster than I like a shark tooth vacuum cleaner.  That means that I have to be more thorough and when I saw who was ahead of me I realized that I'd ...

Everyone knows the origin of Hawaii is volcanic and most likely assumes that there are no fossils to be found there. I was the same until one of Black River Fossils' members, Hemipristis, moved there for work and did some exploring on the island of Oahu. Oahu is the most populated Hawaiian island and is the home of Honolulu and Waikiki, and thanks to hemipristis, we now know there are fossils to be found there as well.

It was Friday evening and the weekend was supposed to be rainy and cool. I was killing time on the computer and clicked on my tab for North Carolina weather...sunny and 70!  :rolleyes: There was only one thing to do..start packing.

It was 2AM when I pulled out of the driveway. The rain stayed with us until we were just across the NC VA border. After one wrong turn and a 45 mile detour through the NC countryside we arrived at our destin...

This report encompasses the days of March 6^th and 7^th, and what warmer days they were! March in the 60’s with no wind is waaaaay better than February in the 40’s with lots of wind.  (Yes, I did get sick after the hunt from my first report.)  Anyway, as my friend and I made our way from Elm St. Park to the stream, some guy exclaimed his amazement that we weren’t wearing waders because of the cold.  I told him this i...

Hi, this is my first post, sorry it’s a little late.  I’m an ECU student that discovered GMR held fossils a couple years ago during an ecology lab.  We were measuring current, aaaaaand I started to notice teeth peppering the gravel.  Needless to say, I got yelled at for not paying attention.  Ever since then, I would search for teeth in the stream on days I got bored.  Recently, I’ve started to become very interested in fossil hunting.&nb...

I got out to the beach yesterday and was the first car there (my first time ever having that happen).  It was high tide and the tide was going to start dropping later in the morning so my strategy was to bust my butt to go as far as I can and pick up the easy teeth as I go but keeping an eye out everywhere for a nice big med or mako, then work my way back as the tide falls and be much more slow and methodical.  My thinking was that as others arrived I'd be c...

Hey long time no see guys...It all started on friday after work. It was a really nice day outside so I just couldnt wait for the weekend. I met johnny on the beach....It was a rough collecting. Some good stuff to look through but not 20 tons of it. I think my best find was a broken hemi. ..Those teeth will not be posted.

Saturday I did a mini choptank walk. I met a guy from the fossil forum..forgot his name. He did quite well..no megs f...
