Guest bmorefossil Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 got to meet Phoenixflood, really nice guy. When I looked out onto the water it looked almost like there was a hurricane hitting! Largest waves I had ever seen on the river, and I just looked today and it says there was an 18 foot wave ( must be a glitch) lol, well we got our gear on and began to walk down the beach. IT WAS COLDDDD and we had the wind hitting our face for 4 miles! The ground looked like a huge tooth could have shown up any second but it never did. Phoenix found what could have been a Ric or trans tooth, if its not its an otodus but it was the best tooth that either of us found. When we made it down the cliff a little we began to find crystals! I had only found one each of the times I had been there but today they were everywhere and they had some size to them, found a few over 6" long and wide but some of the smaller ones were really nice. I found only a few teeth one nice sand tiger but thats about it. I was really glad to be back in my car when that day was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenixflood Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Nice meeting you to Bmore! Yeah, it was really cold! I think that's the coldest I've ever been in my life, but the thrill of big megs kept me going! Here's that tooth Bmore was talking about. I also go a couple of crystals as well. If you've seen Bmores' you have an idea of what I have, just not as many The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bmorefossil Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 the tooth just looks a little different than an otodus, it looks like there would have been a bourlette at one time, the root is wide and the cusps look odd, lets see what some other people think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Great crystals, when you mentioned them in chat I was expecting smaller. The fossils look nice too, what is the larger one in the mid left and the other larger one in the top left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootgirl Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Cool crystals! Like that brown thing on the lower left hand side.

barefootgirl Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 It looks like tortoise shell. I like it.
