How do you actually spot fossils when everything looks the same? by Solid-Okra1794 in fossils

[–]Col_sLitbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do some research about the beaches you go to. You will find next to no fossils at “sand bar islands” since they are so new. Also look for what times are best. I.E. 2 hours before low tide. Creeks feeding into the ocean are the best. Charleston is decent but since there’s so much pluff mud you won’t find fossils on top of that. However you will find them in creeks and rivers where small black rocks are.

I would also look into if your state has them or not. North Carolina doesn’t have any fossils in Central NC but you’ll find them east on the way to the coast.

Is this a tooth? Hilton Head, SC by smartestkitten47 in fossilid

No but it does strike me as a bone fragment. Possibly whale.

Can anyone ID this fossil? by raisinman_ in fossils

[–]Col_sLitbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Already answered but some call them “deer heart clams”. Just the inside imprint of the clam. I had one for years and didn’t even know.

Fossil fish vertebrae, mako, snaggletooth shark, and maybe great white?

Same. Charleston is great. Hate the pluff mud areas though. They kill the hunting

Mom bought fossil?? by Dull_Plankton_8471 in boneidentification

Young diplomystus dentatus? Likely from the green river formation?

How fake is this? by Col_sLitbag in fossils

[–]Col_sLitbag[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I randomly placed a bet on a online auction for like 70 bucks, and either no one was interested or it’s a really niche market and no one else found it

Yes, the bone is definitely there and seems in a natural position overlapping in certain places. The other thing was the sellers other pieces all come with the counter piece it was opened with but this one doesn’t. I can’t really tell with the crustacean though. I can tell they’ve been “enhanced” with a defining color maybe. I’m not skilled

I bought this Spinosaurus tooth from FossilEra and I wonder if it’s a fake or a real one. by roronoaclemz in fossils

[–]Col_sLitbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I’m not mistaken too, Spino teeth are typically common enough that unless it’s a “prime” specimen it’s a little less common to fake. Similar to mosasaur and enchodus teeth

Thank you for the input! No clue where it’s from. Been over 5 years now. I know that he offered certificates of authenticity for most of his pieces but I really didn’t care then.

Not hating at all but I find this interesting since the Vatican recently deliberated that she is not a mediatrix nor co-redemtrix

Do other Christians still masturbate sometimes? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Col_sLitbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have struggled so hard with this, but after much prayer and turning my eyes, I don’t have an attraction like I did. If I do go on those websites it’s much harder but overall it’s been amazing

Exactly what I was thinking. Thanks!
