Cris Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 We (@addicted2fossils and myself) decided to go check out some dirt roads after some very heavy rain messed up our river sites. It turned out to be a pretty good call! We found a bunch of megs, a killer great white that we spotted at the exact same time and had to do a coin toss for, some great inverts and my favorite find of the day, a huge Parotodus benedeni from Florida! Check it out: Disclaimer: we get kinda weird in this vid. If you don't want to watch the video, here's some (but not all) of the day's finds: 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
