Bill E. 703 Posted November 8, 2010 Last week I found a really nice 3-6 Million year old gomphotherium tooth. These were ten feet high elephant like proboscideans related to the Mastodon and Mammoth but the gomphotherium was much older and was extinct by the time that the Mammoth came around. Anyhow, I usually only find one or two of these per year so it was a great find. This one has a really glossy ivory enameled cap. I also found a leg section of a larger Mastodon tooth but the gomph tooth was the real find. Here is the photograph along with several of the other finds from the last couple of weeks. http://megateeth.com/blog2010/2010/11/08/gomphotherium-and-megalodon-teeth-found-the-last-half-of-october/ Larger photo of the tooth: http://megateeth.com/blog2010/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/103110b.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill E. 703 Posted November 9, 2010 that gomphophant toof is sweet Thanks. Any update on when the election final count will be in? I forgot that this could happen when I set it up. Very anti-climatic. Swamps wishing he could find the front left tooth! I think he put it under his sons pillow and forgot. His son bought a purple slurtpy in rebellion. ???

There is no way that proboscideans in the Early Miocene period had dentists putting in caps. That did not happen until the Late Miocene period. HTH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GettnHuge 2 Posted November 9, 2010 Thanks. Any update on when the election final count will be in? I forgot that this could happen when I set it up. Very anti-climatic. ??? Looks like they've narrowed it to 6 undecided with Repubs up in 4 of those. Still at 61-6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill E. 703 Posted November 10, 2010 You have found a lot of teefs, ever any sunken treasure? Sorry, I did see it but answered something else. If you mean gold or silver sunken treasure than no. That is a real needle in a haystack. Many of the teeth that I found sold for two or more thousand, so these are a form of sunken treasure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
