Shellseeker Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 As many of you know , the Peace River is currently unhuntable due to rains and river depth. In many locations it is 10 feet deep. I thought I was finished for the season but then my regular hunting buddy called to say he had found a "shallow" location. What could this be? Always believe your friends!! Not only was it a shallow spot , but underneath the typical 12-15 inches of normal Peace River black gravel was a layer of crushed limestone , clay, and brown gravel and shark teeth. Many had the white roots typical of bone Valley teeth. And then THIS Meg ?? Only a touch of enamel left. Has the entire Meg been replaced or is it hiding under a layer of limestone? Whatever. I had a bonus day Monday on the river in the sunshine! I am feeling GOOD this week.

Shellseeker Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Thanks to all. This was likely my last time out for the season. I am amazed that these light colored teeth are under the river bed! It will be something to look forward to in the fall.

digit Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 As you note--quite amazing color for river teeth. Truly remarkable! Time to turn your sites so other fossil (or shelling) activities till the river recedes. I'm thinking about popping up to see if I can score some Ruck's Pit crystallized clams sometime in the next week or two now that I'm back in country for a bit.
