Made it there about 9AM. The weather (thankfully) was not the predicted thundershowers. Managed to get ahead of the crowds and picked up a few goodies i'll post later. Here are some pics.

Megateeth? Looks like M.B. to me ;) --> AAAMega teeth.JPG:P:D

Very nice report, I would have loved to have been there and met you all :) and maybe left with a fossil or two :D and then have went to GMR, and some other local NC mines, and maybe hit some VA locations on the way back :D:D:D

The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always.

I think everyone had a great time. I got to meet Fossili Veraci who posts all kind of great stuff on Facebook. Then we remembered meeting back in PCS last year where Mrs. Fossili Veraci found one of only two megs found that day. Some of my good friends like Brooks, Jake, Linda, Ernie, Kenny and Heather all helped me out at my booth. Then there were a bunch of other TFF members that I got to see again. I hate leaving these shows because everyone had such a great time. It goes by so fast.

My prizes of the day consited of: A ray tooth plate from NC, A bug(?) from Lebanon, and A nice pair of Plesiosaur verts from Morocco. My wife won a topaz ring in the auction (absentee bid).

It was a pleasure to see again old friends and to meet for the first time Megateeth, Greel, Obsessed1 (actually both of them). I am sorry to not meet Frank MenserMicrofauna from Onslow quarry

It was the highlight of the trip for me to meet you and your wife, and I hope to see you next year. Big ups goes to obsessed1 for allowing me to drag him around so I could show off his 3 1/4 inch great white to my club members. That tooth is akin to a holy relic

and the man that found it has earned serious fossil gravitas.

Hi ya Bill! Ernie and I do not make it a habit to buy any fossils but every year we save our money to buy fossils from you Bill.

I think of everything I saw, Mark had some of the nicest fossils. His red teeth he had were amazing. If you are here Mark, thanks for the help as well.
