Potomac Miocene 9/1/18

[RCW3D]

Any day out on the river is a great day but today was something special, plentiful teeth and a couple of rarities! My wife started the day off right by finding a symphyseal cow shark tooth, I still can't hardly believe that she found it! Later on I stepped over a log to find a Meg leaning up against another log. Later on in the day, my daughters were hunting together and when I got home and checked out what they found, there was an Alopias grandis there! I finished the day off by spying a 2 1/2" Mako sitting high and dry...I couldn't ask for a better day on the river with my family!

 

Total haul.

 

Definite trip maker here!

 

I was very pleased with this!

 

My wife was not going to be outdone and found her own.

 

 

Of course my kids got into the action as well.

 

I closed out the day with this beauty.

Best part was, she only saw the root of the symphyseal, she thought that she was just picking up a small tooth when she reached for it. Once she saw what it actually was a shout went out apparently. I was about a 1/2 a mile away looking upriver and quickly got a text from her to which I shouted as well. She's been on fire this year with cool finds.
