Rowboater Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Some of my spots have been over-run, so avoided some of the best. Low tide is now in the heat of the day, so breezy beach is preferable to woods. A few oddities for me: couple of broken skate scutes, a dolphin tooth, a seal/ mink/ weasel tooth, two puffer plates. Added a few rough beach teeth, along with a bunch of small gray/ requiem teeth with several miniature makos mixed in (many of you can ID them better than me). About a dozen cow shark (favorites of mine), but nothing special; four or more upper teeth, twisted but missing most of their roots and extra points (someone at a beach brought me a beautiful, perfect symphysial to ID. I can be jealous too! Have to keep plugging away.) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowboater Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 @Al Dente Thanks for the ID! I'm never sure, don't see many mammalian teeth. @Fossildude19 thanks as always for encouraging me to post. @Fin Lover hopefully you'll find a cow shark symphysial! Here are recent sand tiger teeth (no real big, few colorful ones). I like the tiny ones with cusps but think they usually go through my screen. Good ones to give to kids, encourage them to hunt, so many around and easy to see: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members MattMapps Posted August 13 New Members Share Posted August 13 Sounds like you had an interesting haul despite the challenges! Those small gray teeth and cow shark finds are always fun. The dolphin tooth and seal/mink/weasel tooth are definitely intriguing....those oddities keep the hunt exciting. The photo looks great ; it's always nice to see the variety in finds. Keep at it, you'll land that perfect symphysial soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
