Chesapeeker Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I was among the gaggle out at Brownie's on Saturday -- I'm sure we all passed one another coming and going, but my eyes were pretty much glued to the ground. As others have mentioned, the absurdly low tide made for a challenging day. However, there were goodies to be had... I more or less grabbed whatever struck me as interesting. All in all, not a bad day: And I'm happy to report that, despite a little feeding damage, Mother (2.25") and Baby (above Mom, 5/16") are doing just fine: Other highlights include this gnarly pathological...something : And a squally! Top center of the main pic is a hand-forged nail. Also interesting. A very good day, and totally worth the sunburn. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Mud Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Nice haul! I appreciate the in-situ shot of that beautiful brown meg. It takes restraint to be able to take shots like that. I haven't found my own meg yet but I'm sure I will forget all about taking pictures when I see a beauty like that on the ground. Nice serrations and bourlette.

caldigger Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'd have to say, not a bad days dig indeed! You're going to have to invest in quantity rikers if you keep up that kind of collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Beautiful meg, and a bunch of great finds. However, I think your "squali" is a dolphin tooth.

Chesapeeker Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Ha! ID fail. Thanks, gents - and thanks on the contortus, Mario, that one's very odd. Appreciate it, all. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
