Up to my elbows in Cretaceous

I met up with BC at about 10:00 AM at the luxurious Lemon Tree Inn. We headed to Greenville, NC and looked for a piece of the stream that might have some gravel in it. We put on the old waders and broke out the shovels and sifters. Several hours later we had a few hundred teeth and serious back aches. We hit Hardees for their 1/3 pound Western Burger and then drove back to the Tree to wash our teeth. I had a decent bag of goods. The best tooth was a 1 5/8 inch GW that has has nice serrations and a complete base. I had one other smaller GW missing its base. I found a worn meg, and several worn makos. I also found two Squalicorax pristodontus teeth, as well as two other Squalicorax spp. There were plenty of other Cretaceous teeth, none of which I know by name. Check the pics.
