greel Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Only found a few broken teeth, a hake fish vertebrae and this 4 1/2 inch meg this Saturday. I was hoping for a nice great white before I left, but it was not to be this time. Although it has some peel on the bourlette and enamel and some dings, I was happy to get the meg, because they are rare in this condition from the creek. -greel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greel Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hey greel, super find. That is worth the trip for sure! Thanks fellas, What's crazy is that I didn't see something that big in my shovel. I didn't see it until I sifted the dirt out of my screen. It's rather stunning to look into your screen box and see something so large when you are used to teeth much smaller. -greel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greel Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Roz, Sorry. I just went to watch the youtube video of your mosasaur finds (great video). I shouldn't assume that members of this or any other site are fellas. Folks is a better term to use. Very red-faced. -greel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greel Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Very nice find! Are teeth in that good of condition & that size hard to find? Mike, They are hard to find in the creek where I'm digging. They are usually found so worn that its hard to tell it was once a megalodon tooth or with the enamel and serrations present but broken (vertically) right down the center of the tooth. The movement of water or tumbling action of the creek takes its toll. Of course at the Lee Creek Mine in Aurora. you find land megs in the dump piles that have nicer color and are in much nicer condition. It's just hard to get into the mine - they allow groups or clubs to visit once each spring and fall (sometimes a season dig will even get cancelled). -greel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my name throws a lot of people off. :lol: Don't feel bad, a lot of my mail in the past has been addressed to Ron, Rob, everything but Roz Can imagine your excitement when something that large got caught in your screen! When I lived in Arkansas last year, most of the teeth I found there were small, some down-right tiny. Think I may have hit the ground if I found one that size.. Welcome to the forum!
