JustinFL Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thanks I was really pleased with our finds! My girlfriend found her first two megs, I have to say I am a bit envious LOL they are just about perfect. Any more input on this would be great, I keep hearing jokes but I've been told it looks like a tumbled sperm whale tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a couple Peace River teeth to shown similarity. The banding around the tooth is a differentiator. Nice find !!

Calvin Jenkins Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Awesome Meg! I'm going to venture a guess that these are coming from a land site, not a beach or river site given the details of the barbs & serrations. It also looks like you have some lighter "bone valley" colors in some of your finds so I think that may indicate that you are in a gray mud layer? I don't see any lightening strike markings. Shellseeker has said he knows where "they" come from but I'm not as confident that I can pinpoint that area yet. It also strikes me as odd that you have a few Hemi front teeth but just one side tooth. Great hunting for the two of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the video of pulling the nicer teeth out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrieder79 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Thanks for sharing. If it doesn't give away the spot, I'd love to see the video. I love those kind of clips.

JustinFL Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 It is a land site with the exception of the tumbled tooth. I'm hoping to give it another shot with my daughter this weekend. I'll keep updating, and thanks She found her first Meg without any help, the day before her birthday. Not about a birthday present. She found three Megs total and Bunch of really nice smaller teeth. My big find was a almost 2 inch hemi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
