Sad day to be an Otodus tooth - Rainy day on the Potomac

So good/bad luck today on the Potomac. Rainy, humid, but a bounty was collected regardless over 2.5 hours. Sharks teeth, ray plates, and sea glass were everywhere! Unfortunately however, not every great day is perfect, the decent sized Otodus root was a real shame 😢. Luckily I was able to score a small Otodus in good condition, quite a few nice sand tigers, a small vert, and a few pieces of blue sea glass. I’ll take it!

Some great finds for only 2.5hrs of hunting! Thanks for sharing!

 

And bummer on the Otodus tooth. Looks like it would have been a nice one.

A nice haul!

Well, 2.5 hours of fossil hunting beats a lot of other things you could have been doing. :)

Indeed, I spent all of my Monday studying for a final for a class I really didn’t like :shakehead:  but I’m liberated now!

Not a bad haul at all! :thumbsu:
 

I had to look up what “sea glass” was. I’ve only beach collected while on various vacations and don’t remember hearing of it. Neat little pieces, and I agree that the blue ones are the best!
