Some recent dig finds. A 3 1/2" and two 2 1/2" Auriculatus teeth. They are nice! :)

You can find Rics at the MM quarry there in Rocky Point, Skylar. However three in one day is a rare occurrence anywhere in NC. Although I have found 2 in one day, and both perfect specimens.

behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

Depends on where you are going. When you say OBX i presume you mean the northern outer banks. Kitty Hawk etc.? The southern and south central coast of NC has many beaches with opportunities for finding teeth. Not so much up north.

My best day with rics. was 5 in one day. That also was almost 10 years ago. :)
