Table scrapsWhen I asked the "Ditchweezil" to participate in this site I told him outright that "I don't do shark teeth". It's not that I don't find them. You can't go anywhere in the lowcountry of South Carolina without having to stop evry few minutes to empty those pesky 4 inch megalodon out of your boots. Rather, I don't collect them to keep in the museum collections. We have enough megalodons thank you! I do pick up the better ones I come across. They are used as gifts to other collectors, big and small. But Mrs. Bum has collected a few nice pieces and to keep her happy (which means keeping me happy) I'll showcase a few pieces. "Are you happy now dear"!

| This Carcharocles angustidens is from the Early Oligocene, Chandler Bridge formation. |
|
 |
| This Eagle Ray (Myliobatis sp.)tooth plate was found by Mrs. Bum. She swears that I stepped on it prior to her picking it up. Whatever! |

 |
| This Carcharocles auriculatus is oviously a pathological tooth. It strains the idea of "logical" to the extreme. |
