hemipristis Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 From the Meherrin River in NE North Csrolina. Local geology and preservation suffuse Plio-Pleistocene. I've eliminated tuna, grouper, wahoo, seabass, drum, sturgeon and tarpon. Im out of ideas. Thoughts? 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
