The Oldest Thing In My House... Pachycephlasaur Spikes (Dinosaur Fossil Cranial Spikes)
... possibly the Coolest thing, besides my dog, in my house right now.
We are fossil collectors and have some really cool ones. Some as old as 450 million years old (Orthoceras) and some that are really cool. Our favorite are our Carcharidon Megalodon teeth from South Carolina. The Cooper River is loaded with them on the bottom. You have to do "blind" diving because of the murkiness of the water. You pick up soil from the bottom and you feel the teeth in your fingers. These are about 60 million years old. As you can see in the photo, the serrated edges are still VERY sharp!

I'm just a Novice? Rock Hound...but that would be way cool to do! Um, ahem, I hear y'all have sharks over there in South Carolina...please be careful... Y'all still have one of the coolest jobs/careers!
Load More Replies...All I hear is ross gellar saying “you aren’t supposed to take those, we actually have people looking for that…” 😆
You should go get to me checked by a museum if you haven't. You could make money.
How about 3 separate paleontologists/geologists? They each said pretty much the same thing...so that's whom I going with. 😁

Nice!! My parents and I used to collect old Soviet art when we still lived in the Motherland. Sadly, we couldn’t take most of it when we fled, but we still have a few old ones :)

Coral And Bi-Valve Fossils From My Parents Farm In Southern Ohio
1884 Naturalization Paper, Renouncing Allegiance To The Emporer Of Russia Alexander III
From my previous post. Assuming Peter Wedel is the father of Dorothy, who married Lou Campbell. I searched for a bit years ago to find any more information or living relatives (maybe a decade) to no avail, and then ended up putting these in the safe and forgot about them until seeing this post. Maybe some free time and I will search again. Or if any Pandas want to look, maybe you can find some clues. This is all that I found in that desk, other than a small slip of paper from Rosalie, stating that Dortha and Lou wed on Christmas day 1918.
Love Letter From The Past. 1918
Found this behind an old desk when cleaning out an empty house. Lou and his beloved Dortha (Dorothy) were married that same year on Christmas day at Chase Kansas. They had a daughter Rosalie, who gave birth at 16 at St Rose Hospital in Great Bend Kansas IMG_4348-6...20a494.jpg
The oldest is probably me. And the newest is the parsnips I bought at the store that are in the fridge
Oldest thing, besides fossils, is an ancient roman coin. Just a little less than two thousand years old. Newest thing is a ring I bought myself a week ago to commemorate an important personal milestone.
Oldest thing where I live is my great grandmother's cast iron skillet. It's from the mid 1800s.
