Frank Menser Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Many years ago I worked with the SeaBees on a volunteer construction project in Rota, Spain. While sifting sand for cement I came across this little gem, the first shark tooth I ever found. It is a little over 1 1/4" long. Be true to the reality you create.

Frank Menser Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Thanks guys. Wanted the Latin for the label. This was the better of two teeth I found. The other disappeared when I was shipped back to the US. As for getting paid I kind of thought it was a fringe benefit for doing a good deed (Ok I know that's corny but we built a school house which I'm kind of proud of). Be true to the reality you create.

As are we all.
