The River Called BackAfter the awesome finds from my last trip to the river, I had to go back. I lay awake at night, thinking to myself that there were more whale teeth under the sand just waiting to be excavated. There had to be more dugong out there! I hit the same area of the river with my fanning gloves on. I started making finds almost immediately. 10 minutes into the hunt, I got a fantastic squalodon molar. Then, another one. Then a couple more. I was on fire underwater!
The finds died down and I moved to where I found the dugong skull last week. Now there were more bones exposed and I got them all, including a mandible with a tooth attached and another loose tooth. A lot of that guy was there stuck in the bottom of the river just covered by a few inches of sand. It took many trips back to the boat to bring them all in but after fanning a massive area, I feel confident that I have everything that didn't already tumble downriver. I looked at my finds from this area from years past and I already had one of his vertebra and so does da fossz. I have a feeling that when I get all of this sorted out its gonna be pretty cool.
I moved to another area, one that I hunted already last week and I started moving sand there, too. I struck out there, but I managed to find a killer angustidens on top of the sand that I missed a couple weeks ago when I swam that bank.
