Shark Tooth Hunting in Florida on the Roads (Again)


Cris

Recommended Posts

We got out for another dirt road hunt here in Florida the other day which turned out to be pretty successful. We found a few nice little teeth, some with matrix still attached (which I love). It was HOT outside, though! We had to leave the AC and vehicle running, then just hop out anywhere that looked good and shoot right back to the vehicle. It had to be in the 90s, but with the humidity, the heat index definitely made it feel even hotter...We also had a dodge a nasty little thunderstorm which is typical for Florida when it's that hot outside.
 


For those of you who don't want to watch a vid, here's a snap from it showing some of the shark teeth:

Awesome finds, bet that one meg would be perfect with a little glue. You should see the millipedes we find up here while fossil hunting!

Hey Criss,

Nice video and finds. Thanks for the show.

I would not use a key to dig as they tend to brake when used as a lever. You should use a small screwdriver for digging in that gravel.

Keep up the solid work, I will continue to live vicariously through you guys while I wait out this cold, frozen winter lol. Peace!
