zachj Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 as soon as me and my dad arrived in aurora it was just pouring rain and it didnt let up until we left. it was very cold and wet but i took it like a man and got soaked. the day started with a lot of tigers and not anything to big. after about an hour of nothing to good i went another spot of it and immediately picked up a nice mako. shortly after that a nice hemi. after about 20 minutes in that spot i was very cold and wet and got some buckets from the field piles and left. i found a strange vert looking piece. i was curious if anyone might know what it is. i also found a weird shell. one day i will find a tooth over 3 inches in good conditon haha.

FossilDAWG Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I think your "weird shell" is probably Pterorytis conradi, which belongs to the murex family. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
