Went to my private pit today for about an hour to gather some micro material. While there I walked around just a bit picking up 30 or so loose teeth. Some Striatolamia, Galeocerdo, Anomotodon, Abdouinia among others. Also 2 Hexanchus and this realy nice little Otodus auriculatus.

Here are my 2 best finds from today from my local Eocene pit. A really nice dark colored Otodus auriculatus (ric) and a nice little sixgill cowshark, Hexanchus agassizi. The ric is about 2.5 inches.

Well folks all of us in the househave been sitting around a day and a half after testing positive for this corona stuff. We all are fully vaccinated, booster included and are showing none to severely mild symptoms. Myself, I am showing no symptoms at all othe than mild head / body aches. But, we are all ok. Anyways, I had to get out for a bit so I drove the couple of miles to my private little Eocene quarry. Other than the normal assortment of teeth, sawfish verts and rostral teeth I found this heartbreaker of a ric. Other than the broken root it is a gorgeous tooth. It measured 3.10 inches on my caliper. I sifted the dirt all around it hoping to find the broken root piece. But, oh well still a beautiful tooth. Definately beat sitting around!

Thought I would add a few pics of a nice ric I found Friday. From an eastern North Carolina quarry. Eocene Castle Hayne Formation, Spring Garden Member. Whether you call it Otodus or Carcharocles auriculatus, they are always a pleasure to find. 2.58 inches

This ric has excellent serrations and nearly perfect cusps. Measuring in at 3 5/8 inches with it's feeding damaged tip makes me wonder if it would have hiot that magic 4' mark in it's full glory.

This tooth, although missing the cusps has great serrations and a perfect tip. The largest ric in my collection, it is just 1/4 inch shy of the magic 4" mark.
