Panning for fossils

Panning for fossils. Standing in a river digging the gravel with a shovel to sieve for fossils is a fun hobby. This is the latest hoard. Megalodon tooth in the center (7cm) to the left are various shark teeth (such as Lemon, Tiger, Sand Tiger), towards bottom left Stingray (and Eagle Ray) tooth plates. To the right of the large Megalodon tooth is a Mastodon Tooth (belong to the same order as elephants and mammoths), various bones from a horse, dolphin and dugong, with pieces of turtle shell bottom right. These probably range from Pleistocene to Miocene in age, found over one day in the Peace River in Florida south of Davenport.
