Color Me Happy

Same story.  Heavy rain last night = I wake up early to hunt shark teeth

I never like the waking up early part, but I always like the hunting shark teeth part. As soon as I got to the creek I knew it was going to be a good day. I could tell the water got high from how bent over the weeds on the banks were. There was no part of the creek that would not have been rinsed by such a volume of water.

The deep parts were still cloudy, but for the most part I could see everywhere. Unfortunately, the bottom was mostly covered by sand. I never can predict when the sand will come, but it changes every time we get rain. The sand had to come from somewhere, and I am guessing it came from the banks. That's where I found my best tooth of the day, a beautifully colored angustidens from the "blue part". Even though its not the biggest tooth I've found this year, its definitely the prettiest.

The other finds for the day were ok, but none of them came close to the colorful angustidens tooth. A week after I found it, I still hadn't put it in the case yet because I kept picking it up to marvel at the remarkable colors. This was one of my favorite hunts this year!
