Jason Longboard Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi guys. These are a few quick shots I took just to show some of my fossils, I mainly go after smaller stuff so I can keep more in a small space. The shark teeth and teeth in matrix are all stuff I dug here in Bakersfield around shark tooth hill and ant hill area. Miocene epoch. The others are things Ive bought or traded for. The megs I did not find, the sea mammal bones and such I dug, but it would take me forever to post it all in detail sorry. Ive got piles of matrix and shell concretion material in the yard on the benches too lol.I see Southern would like us to use photobucket when possible, I will work on that when I get time. Here are some things for now. Thanks for looking. Ive got more and better pics. Just given a quickie. I often buy a lot of fossils and sell some to support my hobby. I may post them here for sale once I get permition, hope you enjoy the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also see ammonite and orthoceras from Morocco in the last row. Thanks for posting.Stevethe only stuff I dug is the shark teeth and sea mammal material from this area in Bakersfield, excluding the megs and a few of the dark gray teeth from Calvert cliffs. Ive got lots of shark teeth in matrix I dug. A lot of the other stuff I purchased or traded for, sometimes I will buy fossil lot and keep what I want and sell the others, some things I see it just cant live without so I just grab it lol. Their were two matching femur bones from an ice age alligator on ebay I wanted, I thought I made my max bid correct, watched it for weeks, then lost it by 50 cents because they said the server messed p or something or I didnt do it right lol, I almost ate my laptop.Thanks for the kind post.

Some think its quite nerdy, fossils and rocks and all, but how can someone not think its awesome to have things from extinct animals we never will get to see in person. Big and toothy lol, Im scared.

Jason Longboard Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Nice elrathia kingii trilobite, from the Wheeler Shale deposit. Have you ever visited the CA trilobite location out there?You know I read something about a spot in the desert? Someplace I cant remember but it seemed like I remember them saying you can keep one item and thats it, which is fine I guess but visually and just to get to feel the area I wonder is it worth the trip, Im not sure, do you know more about it? Maybe you are speaking of someplace Ive never heard of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldfinger Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hi Johnno-Terrific looking Priscacara from the Green River formation,Wyoming. Brought back memories of my only trip there back in the 80's. Found a few small Priscacara and a large Phareodus Testis. Cost a fortune to have it prepared but well worth it.Thanks for posting..Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnno Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 G'Day JasonDon't feel intimidated, I was just offering up some eye candy. You've got a great collection there, stick with it mate. I love the graphic, I got a little chuckle out of that one. Here's a couple more, not spectacular, just to keep the blood flowing.CheersJohnno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
