Brett Breakin' Rocks Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Hello Everyone, I've been busy with the kayak and doing some hiking to boot. Funny thing is .. you never know what you are going to just walk right up on sitting pretty after a low tide falls away. 3 mile-ish hike there and back with three miles of paddling .... (this guy was lying in the middle of it) Probably has been buried under the soft sand waiting just beneath the surface. Just shy of 6 inches I love it .. warts and all. In situ ... In hand .. Some really great Carcharhinus teeth lately ... they haven't been jet black either which is a nice change. I've got a few that I haven't scanned yet but they were almost white .. some with caramel colors. My favorite finds so far. 'cuspidata' ? ... Pliocene perhaps ... ? I'm never quite sure with these. Mastodon molar bit .... The weather has been particularly nice lately with a swift breeze and lower humidity. It can literally feel like a desert out there. Hot as heck ! Not everyone survives ..... Cheers, Brett 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 A real beaut Brett. Congrates! I'd probably squeal like a little girl if I found that one. Can you give us a shot of the labial side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give us a shot of the labial side? Sure thing ... Not too much peel. I didn't have time to squeal I was praying for two things. 1) Please God don't let that be another funny shaped leaf on the bottom. 2) For the love of Peat Bogs make it whole .. make it whole .. make it whole. 3) Sigh of relief .. I need to relax a little right ? Need to work on my yelping I guess ..... haha This creek cuts right on through the Wando and the Chandler Bridge formation .. and right down to the Ashley at the base. I had a few Angustidens that weren't too beat up that I kept. Let's say 50 feet and 22 million years separating the two give or take ? Oh and a little beaver tooth that I just had help with Id-ing found near the same location @Boesse thanks. Castor canadensis 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was debating immediately if risking getting struck by lightning by the approaching storm was worth looking more in the area. My survival instincts won out that day.

Brett Breakin' Rocks Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 So back to the Savannah river ... I've been trying to go out at least twice a week to break up the work of refinishing all 15 of the my house's old windows. That's 105 panes of glass ? .. for those of you counting. (remove lead paint/glazing etc .. refinish-repaint-repeat) So, I found what is essentially the equivalent to seeing a unicorn. A fairly non-worn with a sharp edge (though broken) Parotodus benedini. 2.75 in on the slant. I was not in a million years expecting it and I don't suspect I will see one from this location ever again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
