Finally! It's warm in Venice.

At least the freakin' air was warm. But, a sissy's collection of fossils is easy to pick out and I am tired of being that guy so I decided to "Man Up" and brave the fridgid waters of the Gulf of Mexico early in April. There is a buoy or something in the inlet that posts the water temperature online which I have access to and I also have the knowledge that its much colder on the bottom out near the bone yard than what the buoy says but sometimes you just have to go for it. Not alone of course. If I am going to teeter between paleo-euphoria and hypothermia I want company. My buddy Jeff was willing...and it payed off pretty big for both of us. We did three days of diving. Four tanks each the first two days and three on the last day. I think I just now warmed up. Did I mention the water was cold? We found quite a bit. Some stuff very nice and some stuff not so nice. I found my three biggest meg teeth yet. One nearly six inches and two around five and quarter inches. The biggest one is pretty worn but the other two are pretty nice for Venice teeth. Jeff was a little frustrated as he had not found anything big or really exceptional. Until the last dive of the last day he found what I think is the best Megalodon tooth I have ever seen. It seems to be perfect. Actually, I stared at it for a good half an hour and it is perfect. There is not a ding anywhere on that tooth.
