First time back at the beach in a month or two.... was a little foggy. I've never seen a crab on the "turtleshell" rocks before, man I wish I could drag these back and put them in the garden. Help wanted - this bugger is HUGE... if you want it, I think we need a chopper or boat to extract it. Anytime out with the family is great! Pretty sure I've seen these in someone's youtube before!!

Despite not really feeling up to hunting yesterday (I'm getting discouraged by my finds lately), I decided to go while the weather was still decent. And when you are not expecting to find much and/or set the bar pretty low, it makes it easy to exceed your expectations and have a pretty good trip. Here is what I brought home: First up are the odontocete fossils: My first ear bone ever: And a vert and related piece of bone that were sitting together under an uprooted tree: That's it for cetaceans, but that is pretty good for one trip for me. Other verts (not in good shape, though): Burrfish mouth plates (also not good condition): Ray mouth plate pieces and my biggest tail barb so far: Random osteoderms and bone pieces (I keep less than half of the bones I find): Various steinkerns, which I try to limit now as well, but the spiraling ones are cool: Gator tooth that was still partially in matrix: Fish jaw with teeth (maybe...let me know if you recognize it): Crab claw, I think: What I believe is my first piece of petrified wood here (again, feel free to correct me): And, of course, shark teeth: My best Great White so far: My first Angel shark tooth (shoulder and tip of crown are broken): A cool looking tooth - posterior sand tiger I believe: And the rest of the teeth (including a couple broken threshers, a barracuda, a sawfish/sawskate, etc.), which I won't show individually: As always, I wish my body could have handled a few more hours of hunting, but between little rain (no new wash-out), low creek water levels, rising heat, and health limitations, I think it turned out to be a pretty good haul. And no speeding ticket this trip! Thanks for reading!

I have a probable whale tympanic bulla that I can't identify. It was among the bits and pieces of South Florida phosphate mine (Miocene) fossils in my storage. It had some adherent matrix, including pebbles and even a tiny shark tooth, which I have removed. (The matrix interfered with measurement with caliper.) Anyone here recognize this bit of bone? @Boesse
