Just a reminder that this is next Saturday for anyone that can make it. I went last year and had a great time. I am going to bring a ton of fossils this year. (OK not really a Ton, but a bunch.)

One of the nicest things about this show is the night before everyone hangs out together at the Howard Johnson going from room to room to see everyones latest finds. It is worth getting there early.

I'm curious but did Indians ever use shark teeth as arrow points?

[Auspex]

I don't think they'd have made very good points, but I did once find a 3" Meg from the Calvert Fm. that had definitely been worked; I supposed that it was decorative/ceremonial.

ive never seen or heard of any from around here john, but i have seen some from south of here. (nc and sc)i have a big

s. texanus tooth from big brook that the indians drilled a hole into to wear.

gar scales were frequently used near the coast here, particularly since there are no good sources of chert. i think they used whatever was available and would work for the intended purpose.

Just got back tonight. I had a great time. There were a lot of fossils. The highlight was a full mastodon jaw upper and lower with all but one tooth. I went alone so I could not leave my table long enough to get any photos. The artifact collectors really enjoy fossils and my tables were busy all day. The next show is in Tampa and I will get photos there.
