Potomac trip from back in Mid March. First Otodus!

[Atoothsatooth42]

I’ve been wanting to post this trip on here for a while, so today is the day! Pretty awesome one, showed up to the beach at the scheduled low tide only to see turbulent water up to the top of the beach due to incoming weather patterns. Gave it a chance anyway and very happy I did! Found my first Otodus (along with a busted blade of one), my hunting partner found the smaller one on the right in the second picture on the same day. Also found my first complete ray dental plate. Great day for firsts!

Very nice Otodus specimens! But honestly, I think the complete ray plate is the real prize. Very rare to find in such good condition!

I agree, the Otodus are nice. But the rayplate is an amazing find.

Stunning!

Thanks! It is a pretty unique piece to have. Been collecting for years and I only just found a complete one this year. Here’s a few more pics!
