Day 4 – Saturday
We leave Jacksonville at around 5:30AM, and arrive shortly before 7:00AM. We are the only people there, which is just the way it should be ! ;)
We start out with some surface collecting, but just not seeing much, at all, so we return to the back lot. Mike was there around the time these piles were delivered, so we know that they are only, like, 3 weeks old.

Ok, like some of you, I have finds from '09 that I never got around to posting.  As I go collecting each week, when I come home with the goods, I rinse them off and sort out the better specimens and let them dry on a paper plate.  After a wile I have several of these paper plates stacked on top of each other or piled around on my desk/table.  I love going collecting, but I hate having to put stuff away, something my wife can attest to.  Any...

This one’s a little late. I’m stuck here in Calvert Cliffs, MD and the snow is slowly trapping me inside my hotel. I can’t go out and find teeth (or the beach for that matter). I figured that I would use this time to post my last trip to Onslow Quarry. Here it goes…

My son and I visited an old faithful fossil hunting spot in Summerville SC. Like most spots it used to be better than it is now but still we went because we thought we could find some nice smaller teeth from the Ashley formation which is exposed all over the place there.

The best method I have for hunting the spot is to use a clear bottom bucket to see through the water ripples to the bottom. My son soon tired of the tediousness of it all and walked on ahead scannin...

One day I was at the river and it was about to rain but then i came across this tooth and i thought it was broke but it wasn't whole

i asked ditchweezil to take a video of the tooth and he did it was the best tooth I ever found

Ive been waiting for weather like last weekend for a long time. Combined with the beach it made for 100% prime megalodon collecting conditions.

My first 4 incher though broken is what it is.... one hell of a tooth for the cliffs. Ill find the missing root lobe one day.

In 2 days about (5.5 hours combined) I saw 24 different megs. Its been sick! 

Everything was all set and we were ready to leave for North Carolina Wednesday morning. A very nice member of this forum was going to share some of his local knowledge....and then came the rain. A quick call on Tuesday night confirmed my thoughts that too much rain was falling to be able to hunt.
Plan 2.. I hoped that all the rain might help the collecting in some of the NC mines. This was partialy right but mostly wrong. Thursday came and only one mine was allowing...

I haven’t been hunting since I found that monster Meg on the ninth of last month. Since then, I've just been getting things taken care of with the new house and working a lot! We did get a chance to head down to Florida two weeks ago on the gulf side in Clearwater. I promise Katie that I wouldn't do any tooth hunting but.. I did snag a few small ones.

Thanks to the winds and tides of last weeks storms. Collecting over the weekend wasn't to bad. 3 megs total, lots of makos...the best meg was a 2 3/4 upper lateral? from the Calvert formation. Beautiful, its what I live for. This is going to be a hot season for shark teeth...see ya

Found two nice stingray mouthplates almost two years ago along the Potomac.  I went collecting by rental-boat on both the MD and VA side of the river.  Found a few teeth here and there, and then stumbled upon two ray plates still in clumps of matrix.  I didn't have anything to wrap them in so I stripped down to my t-shirt, took it off, wrapped each mouthplate, then got dressed.  It was freezing cold and my skin was numb from the wind and wi...

I ignored the forecast for rain and hit the Potomac River early Sunday morning.  I didn't score any Paleos this time, and no huge Otodus teeth, but small Otodus were abundant.  I found a total of 13 Otodus teeth today, and while most have some degree of damage (one has all of the enamel missing!), three are in great condition.  The largest Otodus measures 1-3/8ths.  Other finds include a 1-5/8ths Sand Tiger, a pretty nice Ray crushing plate...

newb to the site not fossil hunting. any ways this would have been an actual report if me and my father actualy made it to GMR. any ways sunday morning we left for GMR from here in tennessee. about an hour in to the trip we start seeing cops at everywhere with there lights flashing. turns out the one highway we needed to take had a huge rockslide. this had  happend about two hours before we had hit the road. only one woman was slightly injured. good thing it was 2 am or i could...

These finds are the best finds from August, September, and one trip from October. They include a 2.5 inch pathological chub, a 2 inch ric, 2 inch otodus, a smaller chub, and a ric blade that is 2 3/8 inches long. I also ended up finding another arrowhead and so did my Dad. We also ended up finding a nice mako, hemis, a 2 inch Striatolamia and a small posterior tooth which looks like it is probably a ric. The last few trips I have not been finding much of anything but each time ...

I found this drilled fossil shark tooth in the Edisto River. Could the holes have been made so some Native American could wear this? People wear shark teeth as jewelry now, so why not hundreds or thousands of years ago?

Da fossZ called me mid-week and asked me if I wanted to go to the river this weekend. Of course I agreed, even though I knew it was going to be cold. Then I got an email from LC asking me if I wanted to to diving. Sure! The more the merrier! Then t$ joined in the fun, followed by Megamouth and the Weezling. A quick call to Edisto Mike and we had a boat full!

When we arrived at the river, it was windy, overcast, and cool. Not ideal conditions, bu...
