A quick note from my last few hunts.  The water is cold but clear and I have been finding several shrimp coprolite burrows three of my last four trips.  Sometimes 4 to 8 small teeth, sometimes double that.  Have been looking hard for the makos which appear in the winter, and quickly pocketed what I thought was a nice one (but smaller than the mako I posted last week; added for scale to some scans).  When my 8 year old niece saw it, she said ,"that's a megalodon tooth!"  and looking closely I saw she was correct, fine serrations and the bourlette.  About 2 1/2 inches with only the tip missing serrations.  Will try to catch up with other finds later, but this is the first whole, decent (though small) meg I have found in five years!  They do exist at this beach after all (still very rare).
