Rowboater Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Still too hot and buggy for hunting the creek in the woods, so headed over to a local beach where I have been finding only 5 or so weathered teeth per trip, but usually find pieces of fossil whale bone, and lots of non-fossil stuff (lots of what was once metal, once glass, brick and pottery shards, modern shells, and some old but not conversant in shells, and flotsam. 30 years ago teeth were more common, guess they are more picked over nowadays? At least hunting is pleasant, even when muggy and hot there is usually a nice breeze off the River. The water was very cloudy despite finally dry days, will try the beach again in the water once it clears. Usually don't bother to post the beach stuff, but today found a nice cowshark tooth in good shape with an intact root. Don't remember ever finding one there before? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Nice full cow! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Nice finds. Like the cow tooth. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Tidgy's Dad Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Very nice. I'm also rather fond of that complete cow shark tooth. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlefoot Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I have to echo everyone else -- that's a really beautiful cow! Overall, looks like a successful trip! And I'm amazed at your endurance! I think I lost 10 pounds of sweat just standing around waiting with my kid at the bus stop this morning! I imagine there's a lot more sweat lost when combing the beaches for teeth!

caldigger Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 At least there's water near by to splash oneself with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowboater Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Thanks everyone! Felt very lucky to find that complete tooth (I feel lucky even when I find pieces of cowshark teeth). The water is still very cloudy, if clear I would have been wading and looking. The beach always seems to have breeze, unlike when hunting in the creek in the woods.
