Racking is the beginning of all achievements.I took a road trip with the great Alopias Ali to the holy toothing grounds of Aurora. I knew this was going to be a good trip after seeing T$’s and Da f0ssz’s fine rack last week. I had previously talked to T$ the night before going in the pit. T$’s last words of advice for hunting at Aurora was “hunt in the shells.” There were shells everywhere and I even picked up a few. I just looked down the whole time and picked up teeth everywhere I walked! I could not believe how many teeth there were laying out fully exposed. This place is a gold mine. On the way out I picked up a neat looking tooth and it turned out to be a rare parotodus benedini!
