Ropterus Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 The kids (8 and 5), wanted to surprise my wife for her birthday and take her shark tooth hunting ( fortunately for me, my wife loves doing this!). While Brownies is our favorite spot, because of having the kids along and the cost to get into Brownies right now, we decided to go to Purse. We really like it down there and it's a lot safer for the kids. We ended up doing really well, 576 total teeth. Granted, most of them are small but we had a great time. Found my biggest Otodus so far. Unfortunately it's not complete. Also found 2 pygmy white shark teeth, and a paleohypotodus, both new finds for us. Great trip, great day to be on the water hunting. Just wish we lived closer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Sounds like you had a great family trip! Also seems like quite a haul of teeth, too. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Seems like a good place for a BD party. Nice finds too. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Darktooth Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Nice finds Scott! 576 is quite impressive, but so is 2 Paleo's in one trip! You did very will in my book. Congrats! I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropterus Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Thanks everyone! Best part is watching the kids get into it, and get excited when they find one bigger than usual. This is a great place for kids as the teeth can be fairly easy to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil-Hound Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Congratulations. Those Otodus are transitional sharks. Ancestors of Carcharodon. Do or do not. There is no try. - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
