Blue Megalodon Tooth from Central Florida.

Associated fossil whale vertebrae that I found from the same spot over 3 years of collecting. These vertebrae, estimated to be around 8 million years old, date back to the same era dominated by the Megalodon shark. If you are finding big bones like these while diving, a Megalodon tooth is right around the corner...

An extremely large Phareodus encaustus that we found in the Green River formation of Wyoming. This 52.5 MYA fossil fish was originally found in many different pieces, with only the cross-section of the fish showing in the broken rock. It was painstakingly prepared by Ancient Artworks. He offered to restore the cracks, but I preferred it like this.

What do you think?

Recently finished cleaning this incredible Megalodon Tooth. The deep red patination is the result of iron minerals staining the hard enamel over many many years. Teeth that come from deposits with high iron concentrations like this are often referred to as "red site" teeth. I think this one surely qualifies for that label.

BIG UPDATE: Going part-time and I built a workshop!

For the past couple years, I have been working full-time doing subsurface imaging and private utility locating with a Geophysics firm. But, on June 3rd, I am going to part-time so I can work on Digging Science! With the help of my family, I have built the workshop shown here to act as a YouTube studio and store/manage my collection. We will be finishing the final trim on it this weekend!

Ok, so what does this mean? Well, first, I will have a lot more time to be active here as well as on YouTube. I regret that while working full-time, building the workshop, and renovating our home. I have not had time to share with you very often.

Second, I will be focusing a lot more on diving, building out our website catalog, and doing weekly eBay auctions to support Digging Science as a business. We will still support local museums with loans and work with museums if anything we find is scientifically important (ask Joe, he donated a lot this past 2 years). But, things like shark teeth and common ice age fossils, we will regularly have available for sale.

Third, we will start exhibiting at fossil shows, starting in Florida, but hopefully expanding as we grow. We would love to see some of you there!

For now, I will be switching between my current job and Digging Science every 2 weeks. And if things go well, my work is willing to transition me into a support role, so I can spend even more time on Digging Science.

Thank you all for the support. I look forward to what the future holds!

A couple of my friends and fellow youtubers IHUNTdeadThings and Kayak DIY were heavily impacted by Hurricane Ian. They both have GoFundMe campaigns which I am sharing below. Thankfully, both families are safe and everything lost can one day be replaced.

One in a Million Megalodon Tooth

This incredible Golden Beach Megalodon Shark Tooth was found in Venice, FL by Captain Blair Morrow of Aquanutz Scuba Diving Charters. Teeth this color are referred to as 'Golden Beach' to reflect the rare colors and preservation. This tooth must have been recently exposed from the formation and of the millions of shark teeth found off Venice beach from little lemon shark teeth all the way up to the biggest Megs. This tooth is one in a million. To watch how these shark teeth are found, checkout our YouTube channel (youtube.com/diggingscience) and make sure to visit Aquanutz Scuba Diving Charters' page and see all the unique fossils they have been finding!
