Terry Dactyll Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Andy.... well done...... Highcliffe I stopped off at once, and found plenty smallish teeth upto an inch in the first 100 yeards of the beach, on the left, as you go down.... maybe give it a try sometime.... get in the waves barefoot as it retreats, the teeth appear, then vannish, you have to be quick.....

AndyW Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Do you find the sharksteeth and gastropodos in situ ? or on the beach or something like that? hi dutchhunter most shark teeth are found on the beach but most are worn, the cliff is the best place to look for the best teeth and shells . The shells are very common finds the most common shark sp is striatolamia macrota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
