Racheld1 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi all. Found my first Florida creek meg!! It's broken but holy cow, the feeling of when I saw it in the screen!!! I'll gladly take it. Went on a fossil hunting tour this past weekend on a creek near the Peace River. Found some awesome other stuff as well. Water was so low!!! 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fossilis Willis Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I have never been big on fractions, but I think I'd make an exception in this case. It might be 1/2 a meg tooth, but I think the trip was a COMPLETE success. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5 Humper Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 That is a wonderful haul of shark teeth there...congratulations! And what a gorgeous creek. I love it when they turn clear like that. I see a turtle entoplastron bone in there, as well as what looks like a porcupine fish mouth plate, horse teeth fragments, and possibly a giant beaver incisor piece.
