Hey everyone! Figured I would post my findings from GMR over the course of this month. I've found quite a lot, but most I returned to the waters as I did not feel they were display worthy. First up here is my initial collection, featuring various cretaceous sharks teeth, some meg fragments, a cluster of squalicorax teeth (Top Right), a cluster of Extinct White Shark teeth (Bottom Right), A squid shell (Bottom Left), and various other bits such as an unidentified and VERY fragmented reptile tooth, a mouth plate, and a ray denticle. Next some of the larger finds, featuring a fragment of a whale skull (Left) and an ear bone from a whale (Right) This little piece here was ID'd by museum staff at the Aurora Fossil Museum, NC. They believed it to be a partial Mastodon tooth due to the presence of cross hatching on various sides of the fossil, glad I didn't toss it haha! Very cool find! Last, but certainly not least, is this amazing megalodon tooth I found just 30 minutes into an outing, my first one ever! The root was just sticking out of the sand in some shallow water, imagine my shock when I yoinked this 8 1/2 cm monster! This has been a huge learning experience for me, as this is really my first serious delve into amateur paleontology. I've had a lot of fun learning about all of the fossils I've been finding, and I can't wait to keep exploring. Thanks for reading!

I'm stumped on this find. Interesting line of symmetry runs through the fossil. Found in approximate location of a 2' diameter turtle back shell. It's not a bivalve I've ever seen. Sure looks like a vertebrae however the spinal cord would not have been closed on the anterior. What is it? Suggestions?
