RickNC Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 That mako is killer! Horse bone is cool too. Last time I went there I found about a dozen mastodon fragments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 ok. 3 " mako = 6" meg. I agree.

greel Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Here is the largest I have seen. Found by Fred Plumb at the PCS mine in Aurora, NC. Don't know exact measurements, but it's got to be at least 3 1/2 or more.\ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
