Here is my haul of fossils that I’ve collected walking up and down the beach for the past 4 months! I also have a glass jar that holds about 3000 shark’s teeth! Below you will find: prehistoric shark’s vertebrae, a camel ankle bone, whale ear bone, turtle shell fossils, three toed horse teeth, shark’s teeth of many kinds, puffer fish mouth plates, stingray barbs, shells and misc. bones. I find these glimpses into the past absolutely fascinating!
A few years ago I had a collector ask me to make a painting for him including some of his fossilized dinosaur bones. It’s got me thinking about what to do with mine…

Shark’s Tooth! A shark will lose a lot of teeth in it’s lifetime. But a fossil takes about 10,000 years to form. I’ve been inspired by all of the fossilized shark’s teeth I have found strolling along the shores of Caspersen Beach in Venice, FL. The picture below was my first try. I’ve got about 1000 teeth in a jar now. O.k. I will admit that it isn’t just strolling. I’ve now built a homemade large sifter and am trying to figure out insulated wading pants for Winter! LOL Collecting shark’s teeth is addictive! It’s something I did for many hours a day as a kid. In fact, I wanted to be an archaeologist long before I ever considered art. 😉
