I love searching our creek for interesting finds. Last summer we started discovering large fossilized scallops. Then recently I started finding various shark teeth and ray plates. I was thrilled to reach down and pull up a megalodon from the creek for the first time. It is about 3.5 inches long, slightly longer on the other side. My parents helped me document this find here, it's our first time posting and we think this is the right place for the contest, if not, we are sorry!
