rapp creek hunting

[Rowboater]

Shook and beat on my scanner, then a new 'improvement' came from the Internet, not sure the problem, but seems to be working again.  Spring gobbler season is over so feel a little safer in the woods.  Kids have obliterated two of my favorite spots, so after not finding any thing in THEIR favorite spot I decided just to dig in the creek bed near roots and fallen trees, hoping they had trapped something.  A few spots in three trips yielded the "usual" sand tiger spikes, I like the ones with sharp hooked cusps but most of the sites are gravelly which tends to wear down the cusps (took a scan of a few plus one syncytial):

 

 

 

Also found several broken cow shark teeth and a miniture ecphora (gravel is hard on shells and fragile teeth).  More tiger shark teeth than usual as well:

 

 

 The main thing I find in gravelly spots are verts (usually broken) and drum "teeth":

 

 

 

Also find some (some chipped) angel shark teeth (bottom of scan) with "microteeth":

 

 

Not many mako teeth (two for sure!):

 

 

Also found a 3 3/4 inch whale inner ear (bulla) and skate teeth (no plates) and grey shark teeth (no real big ones).  I had hoped to switch over to fishing, but the weather is more conducive to shark tooth hunting.

Congrats on the awesome finds.
