paxhunter Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 So to make up for the rain yesterday i walked all day today. I went sharks tooth hunting in the morning and found a huge sand tiger and a nice posterior meg, then a buddy of mine who lives down south was nice enough to ask me if I wanted to hunt down his way. So i scrambled off the beach and headed south. Well I was lucky enough to find a bunch of my FAVORITE fossil the ecphora!!! I was also able to collect a bunch of shell for mom not to shabby!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Nice haul! I think Ecphora is a really beautiful shaped gastropod. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 WOW! My favorite fossil shell as well (hard to pick favorite fossil).

I can’t see it on my iPhone. Anyway, I don’t get speechless when I see that nice Ecphora brown popping out of clay, I exclaim in joy!
