Afrikaner Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Six days of hunting fossil shark teeth As usual in South Africa the Government decided to make election day a public holiday, so Wednesday 22.04. was election day and a public holiday. I decided to take leave on Thursday and Friday because Sunday was another public holiday “Freedom Day” and because if a public Holiday falls on a Sunday it is custom in South Africa to move it to Monday , works for me . So I had six Days 22.-27.04. to go to the Beach, what a disappointment, every morning I went at sunrise and was mostly alone on the Beach for the first half hour but it was low tide and barely any gravel on the Beach after two hours or so every day I went home with a handful of small and broken Shark Teeth and a few whale inner ear bone. Days like that let me appreciate even more the few good teeth that I find . This season is really carp in Big Bay lots of sand and only very few good Teeth I can’t wait for the Milnerton season to start in June-July. Big Bay 22.04.09 Big Bay 23.04.09 Big Bay 24.04.09 Big Bay 25.-27.04.09 Big Bay small ones Big Bay 22.-27.04.09 What is this ?? ????? Have a nice Day Werner Better a bad Day at the Beach than a good Day at the Office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 You may think it was poor hunting compared to other trips, but to me you did well! "Six days of disappointing fossil hunting is better than six good days at work" "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!
