WAHAMA90 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I had never been to Purse State Park until this morning. I hadn't planned on even going today but at the last minute I figured that I would give it a try. When I first got to the water there was fog covering the river to the point I could only see about 15-20 feet of the shore. I searched for about 4-5 hours and found right around 300 teeth. Here are a few of my favorites of the day. Can anyone tell me what the tooth on the top left is? I have an idea but don't want to get ahead of myself.

fossilselachian Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I believe that top left tooth is an example of Otodus obliquus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam86cucv Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Nice finds. I've been hoping to head down there one weekend with my son and see what luck we can have. I'm not sure we'll be able to make it before it's too cold to play at the edge of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
