River water has been too high lately for me to access my favorite sites so I had to settle for a very small Eocene Castle Hayne outcrop that I can walk to. I wanted to see if the floods from Hurricane Matthew had much effect on the outcrop. On the walk in I found a pretty nice projectile point sitting in the sand. It is a variation of a Guilford stemmed point made out of rhyodacite. This material is almost black when fresh and weathers to green and then almost white. I found a new exposure of Castle Hayne Limestone and the root of a nice sized Otodus auriculatus was poking out. Old exposures got covered up from the floods. The Otodus auriculatus was unusual in that the serrations were very large. The last photo shows a similar sized Castle Hayne auriculatus with much smaller serrations.
