Fossils, bones, teeth...

A lot of those teeth look like bison teeth , but its hard to tell size from the pics. Bison teeth are usually about 3-4 inches long. Fossils are definitely cool to find, here in Iowa you don't want to get caught doing it most places or they will confiscate your findings.
Looks like the river is finally going to get down low enough within the next couple of weekends...
I need to post up some new pictures... I have alot from last year that I never posted.
Wayyyyyy cool thread!
I took the family to Wyoming a couple of years ago to dig for fossils. We've still got a lot of slabs that we haven't split up yet that contain tons of fossilized fish. I did find a stingray fossil but had to turn it in to the property owners (as part of the deal they give you the chance to buy it at 1/2 price of what they normally charge, when which I asked they said $900 - I passed on it.) I'll get some pics of some of the stuff when I get home.
Those teeth are freaking amazing.

Yep, I'm going to be that douche who brings up a year old thread, but oh well! I've always been into collecting fossils, here's my newest acquisition. Mastodon jaw, I made the stand. The last picture was when I got it, took many hours of prep to clean the pyrite off the teeth! it's about 25" long, weighs around 27 lbs.

Real Cool, I always have my eyes peeled when I'm walking around. A few farmers dug this up not far from my house.

Very cool
Braceysdad, I used the stabilizer made by PaleoBond. Here's a new one, got it from a friend of mine who found it diving in north florida, a TOE bone from a giant ground sloth, Eremotherium. It was larger than both the mammoth and mastodon, largest land mammal that lived in Florida, there was one skeleton found in south Florida, that had a 23" claw, most of the skeleton is still in plaster jackets, but there's a large chance it is the largest land mammal found in the western hemisphere.
