Coldest morning here in this mild winter. Headed to the creek, almost devoid of life, although plum? trees are blooming. Water felt relatively warm. Raccoon and deer tracks everywhere. Stayed at one spot hoping for a cowshark tooth; found three, but all broken. Lots of the usual sand tiger spikes. A small delicate sand tiger syncytial tooth. Only one angel shark tooth, a dozen or so drum teeth. A skate stinger, bigger than usual but enamel only on one side. Weird vert, has a 'wing' on one side; usually verts are more symmetrical but I saw no evidence of a broken wing on the other side? No big teeth (i'm a bit overdue for a 2"er!) Fortunately/ unfortunately? no freezing weather here until Friday morning. More comfortable for hunting teeth, but bad for fruit trees and the more amorous birds. Maybe 2020 will be the Year with NO Winter?

Went out and played in the mud while still relatively warm. Quiet, not much wildlife activity. Lots of broken stuff. Hit an old spot, hoping for cowshark teeth, but didn't find any. Did get two angel shark teeth and a bunch of drum teeth. Several vertebrae, mostly broken. Found another skate stinger piece. Less sand tiger spikes than usual. One of the triangular teeth (sort of in-between a spike and a triangle, the pale one just above the stinger was unusual in that it was three times as thick and heavy as similar sized gray shark teeth blades, possibly thicker than the biggest triangular tooth. Fine serrated edge, don't know if a different species or just a weird tooth? @cck Any ideas?
