Where Hanna goes people followWe started the day as we do all others but when we got to the beach today we found there were already 4 people on the beach!!!!!! Now we got there at 6am!!! So i figured they just got there and it would be ok. Well the first person i come up to is a familiar face, Tony, he tells me he has been here since 4am and the other 3 were there before him!!! He showed me his meg and told me he was leaving because there was nothing going on and that he would be back at 3pm. As soon as he leaves i find my biggest mako so far, just over 2 1/4inch not the biggest but its big for where i go. I start finding a bunch of verts and large bones but not many teeth. and then i saw something that made my jaw drop, a complete deer jaw but when i took another look i found that it was not a fossil )= but still cool. I get down to my dad and he shows me his almost 2.5" meg that he found just sitting up on the beach. We were way down from where anyone had been so thats why it was easy to find. We start finding the normal stuff but then i look down in some matrix and see a skull being killed by the water, it wasnt worth taking out. Right next to the skull i see a tooth that to me looks squalodon but ill let you guys determine that. A few blocks down i see something else cool, a whale ulna, i dig that out and look around again and wouldnt you know i see something else a bird bone sticking out of a block!!!! IT was only a 2 hour walk to the boat so i got on my way. When we got down to the boat the total number of people on the beach had already reached 11. My father and i both notice something out a little in the water, we thought it was just a random bone so i picked it up and wouldnt you know!!!! a beautiful squalodon!!!! As more people came the more we wanted to leave. We went to a beach a little further south to only find 15 or so people there. A ways down ther beach there was a section of beach with large rocks, the perfect spot to find nice teeth and the attraction of the 15 people. Right to the left of a footprint i see a root and attached to the root a perfect meg. not big but perfect!!! We found some other stuff but nothing else to great. we found a cow shark and some sort of artifact during the day. The best part of the trip was looking at the beach from out at sea and seeing 31 people fossiling............ thats just crazy
