Hey, all I went to GMR in Greenville yesterday. First I'll tell you yesterday was a perfect day for fossil hunting, there were lots of people there. (15+) I know I have seen at least one trip report from yesterday, so I'll keep this short and let the pictures talk. When you look at the haul, it doesn't look great, but when you consider that I only dug for 45 minutes it's pretty great. I got 2 megs, 2 great whites, 5 crows, and some others. VERY nice HUGE lower great white. I got another really nice posterior great white. The bigger one is 2.5 inches, the smaller one I didn't measure, but it's about 1 inch I would think.

Looks like you did pretty well for yourself, especially in the serrated tooth department.

Nice haul! 

The great white is magnificent and the colour on the other tooth is very pretty. :)

Nice haul! Any idea on the age of the teeth?

Most likely Pliocene (5.3-2.58 mya) though is possible its Miocene. (23.03 to 5.333 mya)

And Cretaceous for your squalicorax s. Those great whites look great! Nice job!

Beautiful teeth! These are the most tan/white/beige colored teeth I've ever seen in one place from that locality. I only have a few in that color range, while most of the teeth are gray to black. Regardless of the color of the teeth I really did enjoy fossil hunting at GMR, there is just so much to find and a wonderfully diverse array of shark teeth.

Fantastic. You are really mopping up there at GMR. From the same spot?

That's what I thought from the color of those teeth.
