I.D. Your Fossils

[Fossilbabe]

Yes that is correct it is a whale tooth. The smaller teeth are all different sharks. Most of them look like sand tigers. You have a wide assortment of shark teeth. Great job glad the kids got to enjoy it as well.

Thanks for the speedy reply Fossilbabe! The kids had a blast; in fact my son now wants to get certified so he can hunt teeth with me! That would be cool.

Any idea what that large thing is?

Thanks again,

can anyone identify these? found them today and have no idea, the rounded looking one is flat on bottom, well almost.. its slightly concaved on bottom

 

[Fossilbabe]

Awhhhhh These are my favorite fossils........That is from a turtle or tortoises shell its the nuchal. This is the top of the shell where the head comes out from the shell....... The other fossil is a turtle foot pad. Great find thanks for sharing.. It put a big smile on my face to get to see these. Let me know if you have any questions......

I was directed here from the treasure area what is this? Found in about 4 ft of water on Venice beach.

Actually it looks like part of a crab claw.

My guess is one of the horn shaped pieces off of some type of conch shell.

I would say it is a crab claw.... Dont believe it is fossil but do know it is crab.... Thanks for sharing that with us...

Venice Beach 9-23-09

Finally got the chance to dive Venice to fossil hunt and we found some cool stuff. Some of the items I can identify but there is a tooth of some sort and shark tooth that I'm not sure of. I appreciate any help that's given.

These are the largest teeth I found

I believe this is a tooth but not sure from what

These are cool; larger then what we found on the beach



Heartbreak! This was exposed with the broken side down...I'm still excited to have my first meg tooth even if it's a partial

What type of shark did this come from? It's smooth-no serrations and much thicker

Here's another view


Thanks everyone.
