    Thats cool! Do you know what kind of shark tooth it is? Smile
  • Random Scientist Inc. says
    Not sure what shark it is, all I know is it's around 40 million years old; and in good condition, too! Smile
  • tyler keenan says
    Yeah! The ones that I found in florda are 10 to 35 million Smile
  • Dazza says
    nice, looks simular to a meg
  • Random Scientist Inc. says
    It kind of does look like a Meg. tooth, but it can't be. It's only about twice the size of a fingernail. Still, it is a cool tooth.

    Dont forget there were always baby megs! Very Happy
  • Random Scientist Inc. says
    Yeah, but this tooth was found by a Montana paleontologist. I bought it from him in Virginia City, Montana.

    Oh thats cool! Have you ever gone on a fossil hunting trip yet? You should look for dig sites and look for quarrys on the internet Smile
  • Random Scientist Inc. says
    Yes, I've been fossil hunting. I took a trip to Arizona and looked for fossils. What I found was half a footprint of something (it's only the bottom half). I think I uploaded a picture of it. Also, when I was in Montana, I looked around a bit for fossils. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything. So yeah; I go on fossil hunting trips occasionally.
  • tyler keenan says
    Thats pretty neat! You should explore the area you live around who knows you could have a wounderfull fossil spot right next to your home! Smile
  • Random Scientist Inc. says
    I could, but if it were right next to my home, it would be buried in concrete. I live in a big city area called the Wasatch Front. It contains about three quarters of the state's population. I could probably go to some area outside the Wasatch Front on certain weekends, but, unfortunately, not every day. However, there could be something in my backyard..I'll look back there sometime.

    Oh I didnt know you lived in the city, I actually live in a small town with the population of 2,000 Not to many people around here I live about 5 miles out side of town in a little neighbor hood next to a creek lol we dont even have a road its a dirt and rock road! haha Its not to country out here though. I have tons of places to explore The creeks right across the street from my house Very Happy

    I wish I could live somewhere other than the city. I don't like cities. I'd rather live in a small town than a big city area. Unfortunately, for the next two and a half years, I'll have to put up with living in the city. As soon as the opportunity arises, I'm out of there! I'm thinking about going to a small town called Price. It has a great and inexpensive college, and it's right by some awesome ghost towns (I also like ghost town exploring, by the way). Plus it's in a fossil hotspot! Very Happy

    Wow sounds like a great place! Ive always been interested into ghost, And ghost towns do you mean towns from the 1800s? Really I dont like citys either to much trafic and to many people lol! Very Happy
  • Random Scientist Inc. says
    Yep, that's how I feel. Too crowded here in the city. I just want to get away forever and never look back. And yes; I do mean ghost towns from the 1800's. But there is a very interesting ghost town in Carbon County, Utah. It's called Standardville. The most impressive building is the old general store, but it's covered in graffiti. And not the good kind; it uses language so foul, it can't be stated here. Standardville was around from about 1912 to about 1950, when the coal mine shut down. It was a coal mining town and by 1955, nobody lived there. Now, it's a popular stop for ghost towners and hunters, since it's also in the mountains. Also, I've visited several ghost towns that were flourishing in the 1800's. For example, I mentioned I've been to Virginia City, Montana. That town was formed when gold was discovered in a river nearby in 1863. By 1875, gold production was low, and the town's population shrunk drastically. Today only about 130 people live there. It's a very popular tourist attraction because it's preserved almost exactly how it was a century and a half ago. It's a very cool place!

    That is pretty neat! Ive always been interested into checking a ghost town out theres not to many if any at all were I live, Well Main street house springs were I live the buildings have placks on them that have dates all the way back to 1820!! Very Happy
  • Random Scientist Inc. says
    Cool! Come to Utah, there are a lot of ghost towns here. Especially in Carbon County. Carbon County is rich in coal, you see. So in the 1800's, a lot of coal mining towns sprung up. Some (Helper and Kenilworth, for instance), are still populated today. However, there are many that are abandoned and have several cool-looking old buildings. I myself don't live in Carbon County, but I went ghost towning there once, and it was a lot of fun. I'll do some research and see if there are any ghost towns in your area, Tyler. Smile
