Hi Everyone, this is my first post and I like to thank you for your information. I will be traveling to the US in October. I'm going to travel in my car from Los Angeles, las vegas, Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Amarillo, Oklahoma, Memphis, New Orleans, Panama City, Sarasota, and Orlando.

The tooth that started it all, found while looking for rocks in the Santa Monica mountains. I just looked down and wow nice great white. At first I thought someone dropped it as why would there be a big shark tooth on the side of a mountain. Turns out I got lucky and found a great fossil. I have looked a bunch more and not found anything else in the area, it is still the largest tooth in my collection! Thanks for looking

I am very open to meeting in person and venturing out together. However, be warned, I'm an extrovert, so I will try to be entertaining. 2) Do you know any proven/potential sites near Los Angeles (within 100 miles)? - Abandoned quarries (I'll wear a hard hat, I know) - Highway embankments (visibility vest, I know) - Friendly rural landowners (bullet proof vest, I know) - Dry river beds/canyons - Abandoned min
