Dinosaurs & Other Prehistoric Creatures

Usually I can have a little fun scoffing at people, and their hobbies, but as Heather says, that is really cool.

He must be clever to find this stuff, as I am sure there are others looking for it too.

He deserves the credit, for putting in the effort.

He separates and catalogs everything he finds. this is one example. there are Hemipristis Serra shark teeth Commonly called Snaggletooth.

I never find anything cool.

I found a four leaf clover once.... lol that's about it.

Sort of, he does counts by piece weight. 


The typical method of counting by weight is to take a sample of the parts and place them on the scale platform. The operator must enter the number of parts in that sample. The scale will then calculate the weight of a single part, known as the piece weight. Then the entire batch of parts are put onto the scale and the total calculated.

It was easier for me to copy than try to explain it. lol...

I have been reading a lot about this, thanks to my husband. It really is an amazing discovery.

I took philosophy and geology, too. If a paleontology elective was available, then I probably would have taken that as well! That would be fun.

I actually have gotten more interested in paleontology because of John. I have gone collecting  with him and have found some shark teeth and horse teeth, all fossils. It really is fascinating.

A shark was swimming in the ocean 5 million years ago and lost a tooth while feeding. it fell to the bottom and was slowly buried by tons of sediment. Millions of years have passed and where the ocean was is now land. Erosion happened and that tooth finally was exposed and washed down the river and got stuck in the gravel. My shovel picked it up and dumped it into my sifting screen where I picked it out. What are the odds and what a journey. It really is amazing.

Geology field trip; think remote mud and mosquitoes, heavy boots and heat, a bus without a toilet and lots of rock. I'd like to think I'd go again.

Aw, I was hoping for something more exciting.

Everything evolves to fit its needs...
