    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?

    Re: Giant Squid finally seen alive on video and photo

    One of my favorites is a trilobite that sticks out of the rock matrix so you can feel all the little bumps and ridges on it.

    What's cool is I can go in my backyard and find shell fossils. I found one with the actual shell still unfossilized.. they were spiral shells embedded in the rock, and one was loose that you could screw out of the rock matrix.

    Dang can't see those pics. For some reason my computer refuses to let me see those. (wah) Grrrrr...stupid ZoneAlarm!

    Sounds like you have a great source there Rick.

    Only the three of us? C'mon there have to been a few more out there.

    Nope, you guys are wierdos! No one else likes you (okay, this only applies to Christie!!) J/K!!


    Actually, I'm slightly jealous, I've never gotten to go to Calvert Cliffs with Christie on one of her expeditions. She's a fanatic! She even dragged her kids there on a VERY rainy day just to prowl the beaches and cliffs! HARDCORE CHRISTIE!!!

    Re: Fossils!!

    i went through a fossil stage when I was a kid....ha ha...like every ten minutes...

    'hey mom, do you think this is a fossil?"

    'No Daniel, that is just a rock"

    ....then it was back to the gravel driveway in search of some other 'fossils'...

    I think I found a few odd impressions here and there...nothing spectacular.

    Also, I was a shark freak when I was a kid. Anything you wanted to know about sharks...I knew it. I met Rodney Fox once...that was pretty cool. I also had a few smaller shark teeth fossils...but that was about it for me
