Good things in small packagesOk, so no Megs in quite a while, but honestly, I'm hoping to find something rare and spectacular, and hopefully soon! I've been hitting my favorite beach off and on for the last couple months since the $9 fee ended on Labor Day. I always bring my 2'x2' box screen because this beach is so picked over. There have literally been times where I would go home empty handed if it weren't for doing some sifting. I did manage to sift some material from a pile of dirt that had fallen many many months ago, and although it was some serious back breaking work, I did manage to find two decent upper cowsharks, on different days of course. Other than the two cowshark teeth, there's nothing in the pics too special, but those are the nicer specimens. I love it when the sandtigers still have the delicate needle-like cusps intact too.
The last pic is of some more of my "blue-site" Paleocene material. The colors can be really awesome, but the material the teeth were in doesn't always preserve the teeth well, so you get a lot of really nice broken teeth. For every blue tooth you see in the picture, I find probably two or three more broken/poorly preserved teeth.
I still love the fresh air no matter what I find, so anytime I get out is a great time! 1 available
