I think this is the second year that MCCS has brought dirt from Aurora for this event. It pretty fun for the kids and we don't have to drive "all the way" to the museum. Here are some Mako teeth of various sizes and one almost perfect great white? second from the left, just the very tip is missing.

All of the teeth are very nice but especially that little meg. And, as Rick said, especially for these newer spoil piles.

Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt
behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

Well I am taking the kids back armed with a shovel and rake this afternoon so hopefully we find some more. That little Meg was just sitting on the in someone's trailings....these things are pretty hard to distinguish from just rocks if you don't know what to look for.

Went back after some light rain this morning and found a 2.25" Meg sitting right on top of the pile :). Here are some pictures along with a little one I found last year and the matrix "pile" they laid out. Hopefully they knock it down more with a tractor soon to reveal more.
