My Presidents’ Day hunt


Miocene_Mason

Recommended Posts

Had time to squeeze in a thirty minute hunt (not sure if it was worth the three hour total drive time) at Brownies (miocene) but did find some decent things. Big sand tiger, and two rib sectionss. An partial Ecphora was a welcome sight indeed (wonder why I have better luck with them at Brownies than Matoaka). A lot of sand tigers for some reason, and few physos than normal. Anyway, because of the shortness I just picked up anything strange looking, hence the broken teeth. Also a lot of bone and scute material as per usual. Hopefully someday soon the megs will be out:meg:or even:megalodon_broken01:

A good thing! Though the picture is a bit abstract....

I even put my glasses on and I still can't see the shark tooth! :D

 

Those are some nice finds! Really good for 30 minutes of work!

 

I'm especially excited to see the Ecphora, as that's something I've never really looked for before.

Thanks! You should see @paxhunters Ecphora collection, it’s crazy! 

At the Calvert Marine Museum, they have one of the hermit crabs in the aquarium an Ecphora shell! No signs about it or anything, I think it’s funny!

As for the sharks tooth, it’s very hard to see. Don’t know how I saw it, guess just “in-the-zone?” 

Ill reveal the location tomorrow

Couldn't find the tooth, but I did find Waldo!

 

-I actually did find The tooth, but I'm not telling where just to give the others a chance.

That's pretty impressive for finds in a span of 30 minutes.

Especially since I have stared at your photo for over 30 minutes and still haven't found the one tooth.

@Foozil nope, but thanks for trying! I like this kinda thing, maybe next time I’ll do it with an actual prize.

Well I don't know how to circle items in a pic but I believe it is a dark black tooth just below a yellow-ish color rock near the top of the pic.

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.
