I came to your channel after watching you pan with Jake for fossilized teeth. You got my sub because watching you guys do this has been wildly entertaining and informative. I learn little subtle things as I go about what the teeth once belonged to and how to identify. You guy have my entire family googling scientific names for sharks and trying to learn where to go this by us. ♡

I'm a new subscriber to your channel, and I must say I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I'm getting old and decrepit, can't fossil hunt anymore so videos like this allow me to still "hunt" fossils. My favorite (or easiest I should say) spot was a state highway road-cut, which exposed millions of years of ancient seabed. Have found crinoids, all manner of bivalves and even partial trilobites. This area was a shallow seabed, but I think there was a lot of shoreline as well--we found a section of fossil tree trunk, maybe a Lycopsid? hard to say. Anywho, please keep making videos, I really enjoy them!

There is a place called Flag Pond Nature Park in Flag Ponds Parkway Lusby, MD. If you go to the beach and take a sand sifter you can find hundreds of prehistoric sharks teeth and megalodon teeth buried in the sand and out in the water. The beach is next to a cliff called Calvert Cliffs and it's nothing but one huge cliff face full of fossils that get washed up on the beach at Flag Pond Nature Park. I have seen people pull teeth out of the water there that were bigger than an adult person's hand.

That megaladon tooth in the middle of the road-- can you imagine trying to explain getting a flat tire because it got bit by an extinct dinosaur tooth? I had one once from a pork-chop bone (probably fell out of a garbage truck, it pretty much destroyed the tire) but a shark-tooth'd be even weirder. Bet it could happen.
@PaleoCris

I honestly would not even be upset over the flat...I'd be able to tell the story of when my vehicle sustained damage from the mighty megalodon shark.

I love this video! I live in Florida, Have my entire life but sea shells were just another thing to me. As an adult that loves history, metal detecting and mud larking I go looking for little treasures. I was just at a nature preserve yesterday in Pasco County trying to teach my son about the random shells there explaining how they dredge the rivers and use the materials to create the pathways and they parking area,, all crushed up white shells. I told him those shells shouldn't be here ( he's 7) I said where do we find shells? His eyes widened like a light bulb went off, he said This isn't the ocean! .. I said yep exactly, these were here millions of years ago when Florida was under water! Under the Ocean! .. He was amazed. He didn't have a ton of patients as I was trying to find what I thought was prehistoric shells but hopefully what I did find are actually prehistoric and not fill dirt or something. I also found old bits of tile. I am hoping it actually came from the river when we have storms and that area floods. Do you have an instagram by chance so I can show you the shells and you can tell me? They look so similar to the ones you found. I am just not sure what to look for / how to date them. Thank you!!
@PaleoCris
@PaleoCris 6 лет назад
I always love to hear about parents teaching their kids about science and the kids loving it. I'm almost positive that your shells are going to wind up being prehistoric, but I can do my best to help you ID them and possibly even get an age if you found any index fossils. My instagram is the same as my channel name, @paleocris. I should be able to get you a genus for most of the shells at the least...and even if the shells are from fill dirt, the fill dirt used in FL is almost always from shell pits that are all fossils.

@PaleoCris
@PaleoCris 6 лет назад
This isn't part of the Bone Valley Formation. We're unsure of the exact formation at the moment. If you want to find land sites, you want to look at geological maps, find the correct exposures, then find somewhere where people are digging...construction sites/future retention ponds seem to be great down south. Good luck!

@PaleoCris
@PaleoCris 6 лет назад
The Hawthorn is a stratigraphic group here in FL which is subdivided into a number of formations such as the Statenville Formation, the Penny Farms Formation, the Bone Valley Formation, etc. I'm sure "Bone Valley" did start out as a nickname before being formally adopted as a formation name, and it is definitely just used as a nickname most of the time by fossil hunters in the state..

Carcharodon is the genus for great white sharks, not megalodon. Megs are Carcharocles, which these are. The paleo in my name is short for paleontology and I've found hundreds of megalodon teeth and earlier ancestors from the Eocene on up through my 15 years of hunting and collecting. If these were an earlier form of the megalodon's lineage, there would be cusps.
