    Re: Giant Squid finally seen alive on video and photo

    Thanks for the pic. Very cool! (I'm so easily amused! )

    I have a few fossils. Mostly coral, limpets, lots of shells and a few cool teeth. I also have a vertabrae of some marine mammal that my mother found. Maybe a dolphin, but I haven't had it id'ed yet.

    One of my classes we had to collect a hundred specimens of one particular fossil and reconstruct the life. It was pretty cool. You can see on some shells where a snail has dissolved it and eaten the little critter right up. Plus the rings and such to determine age. Even the orientation while still in the substrate will give you clues as to wether it was alive or deceased at time of fossilization. Some really cool stuff. Good lord I need help, I can just go on and on.....blah blah blah

    Re: Giant Squid finally seen alive on video and photo

    There has to be some other rock nerds here somewhere.

    Um.. I have a cool megalodon tooth. (gigantic prehistoric shark) It's nothing like the biggest ones (around 6") mine's about 2" long.

    Calling all fossil freaks!

    It sounds like you have an awesome collection there. I'm jealous. I've gotten to hold several of those 6" teeth does that count?
