We  (@addicted2fossils and myself) decided to go check out some dirt roads after some very heavy rain messed up our river sites. It turned out to be a pretty good call! We found a bunch of megs, a killer great white that we spotted at the exact same time and had to do a coin toss for, some great inverts and my favorite find of the day, a huge Parotodus benedeni from Florida! Check it out:
 

Disclaimer: we get kinda weird in this vid. :D 

If you don't want to watch the video, here's some (but not all) of the day's finds:

YUGE teeth! You can find this stuff on dirt roads down there? Sign me up!

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.

Shark teeth in the middle of the road! Without sandals your report would demonstrate the thrill of victory and the agony of de feet.

Start the day with a smile and get it over with.

Oh groan!  

What I wouldn't give to be able walk outside barefoot.  It would be like tip toeing over a waffle iron here.

Not too much different here.  Walking barefoot on Florida roads in mid_summer can singe the bottoms of your feet.  These guys cheated... they waited for the rains!!:D
