I've been very busy lately but I did enjoy finding this nice Cretodus tooth hiding under a rock. Have a great weekend 😀

John, Dude! That's awesome! Size is comparable to all those that the SC and FL boys show in their "Meg" videos. A very nice find indeed.

That's a really sweet find. We don't get any of those in my neck of the woods so I always like to see the pics. Keep em coming!
