rapp creek hunting

Recommended Posts

Back to the creek, stopped by the spot the kiddies had been working.  Although nothing last time, gave it a try.  Breezy, but not the sticky hot weather we should have, and the birds and frogs were alive (was almost over-run by a turkey who exploded into the air over top of me.)  Almost immediately I found a big mako.  Excepting a small chip near the root, it was in great condition (though hard to scan?) About 6 cm, almost 2 1/2 inches along the longest side.  Not much of a yield, but I dont find many "big" teeth, so was happy.

Also found several non-serrated heavy small triangular teeth, some of which are for sure mako teeth.  Most missing roots, per usual:

Nice finds; I always enjoy seeing your posts. The consistent structure of the posts as well as the fossil oddities you procure are a pleasant addition to my day.
