Bronco5150 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I spent a FANTASTIC day at the Stratford Hall cliffs yesterday courtesy of Mid Atlantic Fossil and Nature Trips. HUGE thanks to Cathy for organizing the outing as it was one of the best days I can remember having (collecting or otherwise!) Found a great many teeth during the 4 hours (particularly for a relative newcomer). Favorites of the day were the nice croc at top, a few of the more complete hemis, my first makos, and.... the VERY partial Meg at far left under the bottle cap. I saw the root sticking out of the sand, my heart skipped a beat, and then I discovered, much to my dismay, that almost the entire tooth was broken off. Oh well, I'll save the intact tooth for next time!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Jenkins Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Nice collection, Like the Hemis too. Is that a Mackerel shark tooth? What is the object in the top left corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil-Hound Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I believe @SailingAlongToo runs these tours and I would have gone but had to move to Utah for a new job. Excellent finds you have! Nice Mako! Do or do not. There is no try. - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
