Fossil_Adult Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Woah. Is all I have to say to this trip. Finding one of these was going to be a trip maker, but I found 4 complete megalodons. I’m really stoked. Also found some nice hemis, sand tigers, dolphin vertebra, bone, and etc. 3 of the megs were posterior but the fourth was a nice little cream Meg. Just a shame that I couldn’t get 5 today (just kidding). Here’s the haul. Bone frags and verts: small shark teeth: broken shark teeth: Meg and friends: The bay was just perfect. Had the whole beach pretty much to myself the whole day. Going after a storm apparently is the best. Thanks for reading!

pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Indeed, impressive finds! It's not often that a hunt turns out so successful! But having the beach to yourself after a storm certainly helps 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having the beach to yourself after a storm certainly helps I ran into three other people here maybe. Two of them walked off the beach an hour before the tide got low (told them that was a bad idea) and the third was running down looking at the ground while doing so (told him he was going way too fast and that he’d miss all the teeth, but went right on ahead zooming). I decided to add more pictures of just the Meg: Edited August 16, 2021 by Fossil_teenager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth_ Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Pfft, is that all you found? Ok, seriously.... what an impressive haul! That cream Meg tooth looks perfectly preserved, very lucky find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
