Family Fun Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 After my fourth trip to the peace river here is my collection of my favorites. No close ups of any single teeth, but I’ve included a shot of four of my favorites. While I love the mammal teeth, my favorites are still shark teeth. It does amaze me the number of Meg pieces you can find. Its just a matter of time before a real nice one comes up in the sifter. That said, I never thought I’d find just piece of one, so overjoyed with what the river gave back. Not shown are the 700 plus other teeth that didn’t make the display. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Nice finds. The Galeocerdo mayumbensis in the last picture is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Nice Meg !!!! How many trips ?? When I started 13 years ago, I was hunting twice a week and it took me 9 months to find my 1st Meg as good as yours. The Peace River is generous to you. May it continue. 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Fun Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 This was my fourth trip, I found most of the meg pieces and a fairly good one this last two trip. The nice one was my wife’s first trip out, my second trip. Growing up in Florida, I over looked this gem. Thankfully at 62, I finally found her and her beauty. Such a great place, especially in April and May. The water is so refreshing, you don’t feel the 90+ temps and high dew points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone Daddy Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Nice teeth. It looks like a nice hastalis next to the megalodon. I grew up from the age of eight down here and spent a lot of time stomping around in the creeks, but didn't discover the Peace until about 2010 and didn't start fossil-hunting in earnest until about 2015. I feel like I missed out on a lot of quality hunting time and need to make up for it now. Don't hesitate to get out there every chance you get. It truly is a special place and a great way to spend a day. The fossils are just a bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Fun Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 I was also 8 living in Florida back in the late 60s. Growing up in a upper middle class, we had a house in Pine Island Fla, so I probably crossed over this Gem at least 300 times, driving down from Orlando. Instead, I went fishing. Here are four more of my favorites from my four trips. Curious if the second from the left is a lower hastalis lower? Well, second from the right from how I attached the picture.

bthemoose Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Looks like it (hastalis)! That’s also a nice lower Hemi and you have another Galeocerdo mayumbensis in that photo too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
