Rappahannock creek and beach

Some of the stuff from recent trips.  I have had a great year for cowshark teeth @Fin Lover !  One particular spot has produced the best, some even intact.  My "usual" finds are sand tiger teeth; most of these, except the biggest, have sharp cusps.  And another spot produced mako/ great white teeth.  (Some glitches with my scanner; not the image I had edited(?)) May append another later.

Weather has been great, cool in the morning, warm with low humidity in the afternoons.  Finally getting some rain (too late for my garden) and washing out some teeth and other stuff.  Fishing has been good, but the catch poor here (lots of small speckled trout; would think it would bode well for next year, but there seems no connection.)

Nice haul!  The selection appears to be a mix of Paleogene and Neogene teeth
