SawTooth Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I went out yesterday to find some teeth, and instead I found that the water level was about two feet higher than normal and the current was ripping. But I was determined, and I'm glad I was, because in my nearly 4 years of hunting this creek this was the most productive. Very early on we found a root of a large hastalis, I thought that was weird, as normally the roots are all that's missing, but give it 30 minutes, and up comes the blade, which would fit perfectly, except that both have clay matrix on the broken area that has to be cleaned off, but that means they have been broken since way before we got there. This is already better than what we usually get, we soon get a small meg corner frag (we don't find the rest unfortunately). The real magic happens when we return to the spot after going farther downstream (we came back as a bottleneck in the creek was making the currents twice as bad) and almost immediately find (what I believe to be) a tapir tooth! I have a separate id thread on that with more pictures. And then right before we are about to leave, we get a dolphin tooth! It was an overall great hunt, hope you enjoyed. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
