Got to look close...Well Wednesday was a day off for me so I decided to explore a little and see if I could find a new fossil hunting spot. After about only an hour I came across an area that looked like it could be promising. I found broken smaller teeth right away and then minutes later I came across a rarity...A Giant Thresher tooth partially exposed...just over an inch, but a nice hooked one... This got my hopes up...So I walked on and continued to find shamer teeth and several teeth from the smaller shark species. Then as luck would have it I spotted a serrated tip sticking straight up from the layer that the rain had washed out. If I wouldn't have been looking closely I would have easily missed it. I quickly snapped a pic with my cellphone. Then I pulled it out and saw it was whole. A colorful sharply serrated 2 inch Angustiden. Has a little tip wear, but it made my exploration a success and I think this will be a good spot for future fossil hunts.
