iamsharky Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Went hunting and although it was not at Lee Creek, still had a good time. The largest meg is 4.25 inches and the largest mako is 3 inches. There was a real nice benedini and a straight benedini right next to it in the picture. Miocene/Eocene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoRon Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 That's a nice haul. It makes me wish I could throw on a suit and get under water. Is that a single day's finds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracer Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 DEFINITELY still ok! i would kill to find just one of those beauties.. um, son, no more of those questionable video games for you. if you want to give semi-radical, hyperbolic expressions of how bad you want to find stuff, just say something more accurate like, "i'd get up almost as early as my dad and make him spend huge amounts of effort and money on yet another indulgence of my royal teenness with no amount of suffering on his part spared just so he could watch me find cool stuff while he tries to keep from passing out from lack of rest, fluids, and financial resources." then everyone will know how badly you want to find cool shark teeth.

iamsharky Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 It is tons of fun but I feel like I ran a marathon now. It is more tiring than work but worth it. I guess breathing all of that compressed air. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger though. Miocene/Eocene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracer Jr. Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 yeah, it probably is quite a work out. just let me know if you ever have issues storing all those teeth.. p.s. - instead of the "forum jester", i think tracer should be the "forum bully of tj just because tj likes shark teeth."

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger though. Are you using Nitrox? When I first switched to mixed gas it made a world of difference. Still had energy at the end of the day. Straight air used to leave me feeling very tired and lethargic. 3 tanks does sound like a lot of work. Most would be tired from just carrying the tanks from the car to the water/boat. Forgot to mention that they are fabulous finds. Can't say for sure what I would do to find teeth like that. Pentax Optio W60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am nitrox certified and am thinking about mixing my own but am also concerned about the xplosion factor. Does anyone have any recommendations on a cheap but safe blender???

Does anyone have any recommendations on a cheap but safe blender??? i have no idea what you're talking about, but if anyone suggests triacetone triperoxide, then run, don't walk the other way... and remember, it's better to be collectively exhausted than resting all over the place in little pieces. i personally have little tolerance for psi run amok.

Auspex Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Went hunting and although it was not at Lee Creek, still had a good time. The largest meg is 4.25 inches and the largest mako is 3 inches. There was a real nice benedini and a straight benedini right next to it in the picture. I get that it's a godawful amount of work and all, but the results are....extremely impressive!

PrehistoricFlorida Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 You need to start digging and not just picking up the teeth off the top, get some real high quality teeth!! Did you have any viz? www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
