past few months at GMR...

This is to be a quick post as it is my first and introductory one. I am a novice fossil hunter but enjoy it thoroughly. Probably not the most educated on types/species of finds but i have picked up a few in recent months. Hopefully sites like this and meeting folks out in the creeks will foster fossil education for me. Over the past two months I have prolly made about 5 trips out to Green Mill Run. I'm a student at ECU so in the summer Im at home and rarely have chances to get in. My past couple of trips have proven to be very productive. My latest trip was on tuesday and was when I found my largest great white so far measuring 1 3/8" slant with great condition of both root and enamel. This find came in the first 20 minutes of sifting. I was taking this as a good omen for the rest of the day. Well it turns out that good omens do exist...kinda. About an hour later and 200 yards downstream I pulled up an 1 1/2" meg with the usual wear of time. having no serrations and missing enamel with the top left root missing. However it was my first meg so Ill take what I can get. I was in there with a buddy of mine who found what i guestimated ot be about a 2" Mako with no damaged areas. After this I was jealous and wanted to continue. However, we ended up finishing the day up with a couple of rounds of disc golf out at the meadow. between the two of us we found about 100 of the usual small stuff and pieces. All in all it was the best day we had had in a while. I hope to be back down after my vacation and pick up where I left off the other day. Note: the pictures below are of my finds over the past couple of trips. Ill point out the notables from this actual trip report
