Cold day on the Potomac

[cck]

A windy chilly day on the Potomac at Stratford Hall in Virginia, but some good finds for me. Two megs in the same patch of gravel! Admittedly one is a broken mess and the other is a tiny posterior, but a thrill to find. Makos, hemi’s , and a little thresher ( I think) rounded out the haul.

Great serrations!

would love to see individual close up,  lingual and labial pics of the small meg and the thresher.

The meg is shiny cause I tried to use a bit of butter to keep it upright.. I’m an idiot

Looks like a really productive day! I like the posterior meg!

Hi Michael! It’s my favorite for sure.

Great finds! That's a really nice little Meg and looks like a thresher to me.

The one on the right is a nice thresher, a massive Alopias latidens I believe though it could be a really small Alopias grandis. Lovely posterior meg too!

Well , you’re the man! Thank you . Fun to find.

Cool teeth!

Great teeth. I always love it when I find the smaller megs. To me they are more special than the large ones. 

Alopiidae teeth are also one of my favorite finds.

 

Thanks for posting the additional pictures.
