A Return to the Aquia Formation!

Back to what I know well! Kind of an up and down day. More people at the spot than I’d want, but beggars can’t be choosers 🤷🏻‍♂️. It was a beautiful day for fossil hunting. 
 

Great gravel bars today, but not much fossil action and next to no sea glass in comparison. This area hasn’t seen much influential weather over the last few weeks, so I couldn’t be expecting much. Its been pretty dry lately. I cant help but get my hopes up though! 
 

A couple nice sand tigers, quite a few ray plates and such. Felt like a somewhat meh day, after the highlight being a pretty cool wrasse fish mouth plate. That is, until I found these croc teeth in about a 20 minute span towards the end of the trip! Awesome! Well… more like 1.5 croc teeth, but you get the picture! 


These croc teeth and the wrasse fish mouth plate are truly some quality finds on a bit of a roller coaster of a day. Looking forward to some more warm and sunny hunts like this one in the future.
