#16> I get your point (points). Carcharadon Megalodon (Great White Shark). Usually Miocene (3-25 Million years old) (possibly Pliocene, most recent era, less than 3M), and maybe even to the Eocene/Paleocene (50-65 million years old).

As for the footprint. Barney Does Australia.

Hey, they found a similar dinosaur footprint in Arlington, Va. North Fairlington area, while digging a new sewer line (Cretaceous era). Boy was I jealous because I lived only a few blocks from where they found it, but a couple years after I moved).

We did find a dinosaur knuckle or foot bone at what is now the area of FedEx Field, Largo, Md. in a Cretaceous lake-like intrusion just below a major Paleocene surface layer which had Ammonoids, one Belemnitella (now in the Smithsonian Institution’s collection), 5 species of sharks teeth, fish teeth, various shells, worm tubes, Turritellas, and Mosasaur teeth/vertebrae.

She is a good example of evolution, though. Would fit in really well with my collection.

Wow, Max! Sounds like you know your fossils and geologic time periods. During the 80s, as a geology major in college, I worked as an assistant to a paleontologist. But it sounds like you probably know more in terms of various species and specific time intervals.
