Here's a few finds from last summer's hunt. Many are still being acid etched. The megalodon tooth was found in Washington's Astoria Formation (Miocene) along with the basking shark tooth. The meg was found by an associate on a hunt. Found many other whale and dolphin fossils, a couple skulls, both are being prepped at museum's. One rare find was part of a sea turtle (4th photo) that's awaiting shipment, for study in Taiwan. A lot of fish nodules and one of my favorites, a fish jaw, last photo. Planning more hunts this summer and my 2nd (and final) retirement.

I am working on doing better IDs on my many bivalves and gastropods found on beach walks. Do these look like Macoma Arctata to anyone? Hard to tell from the photos but fairly flat shells or rather not very inflated. Thank you all, Laura

More bivalves. The are highly inflated and an odd mahogany color. The first photo shows a partial pectin along for the ride. Do these look like katherinella? Found on the beach in the Astoria fm. Laura
