Hey guys, thought you might enjoy this. We went over to Maryland fossil hunting the other day with our friends Jen and John (Greenfishandham). We got there for low tide and ended up having a pretty good day. The first few are pictures of where we went, and the last couple are some of the finds me and Keleigh had. We ended up with 145 shark teeth, the biggest of which is between 2-3" long. We aslo found some fossilized bones of some sort, a dolphin tooth, a random selection of fossilized shells, some dental plates from rays and 2 pieces of fossilized crab claw. Enjoy! (Perhaps if you ask nice they will post a couple pictures of what they found… I know there was a real nice one from a snaggletooth shark and one from the Giant Mako in their collection for the day)
Very nice! I think I’m going on a Meg tooth hunting trip down in the Carolinas in June/July. I can’t tell you the location but its about 130 feet deep. They usually find Meg teeth there about the size of your hand!
if you guys are interested you don’t have to drive 3 hours into maryland to find fossils, i used to go with my father to the c & d canal where certain areas are covered with mostly clam, and squid fossils…(balimite and exogyroponderosa) forgive the misspelled latin names didn’t feel like looking them up! anyway rarely you will find sharks teeth but its still fun and close
Wow, I had no idea there were so many sharks teeth/fossil’s on our local shores. Time to take some trips! Although I do know there are tons of sand tiger sharks in the carolinas’, I’ve done a few dives with 50+ sharks surrounding and bumping me, and those sand tigers are MEAN looking.
Ahhh, you must be a rebreather diver. was wondering about the connection with mississippi lime. that is sorta risky diving, isn’t it? takes lots of careful prep.
Yessir. They say its risky, but I’m not dead yet!
Honestly understanding the mathematics, theory, design, and skills is all it takes. Careful prep, but more importantly careful pre-dive checks, you know check the life support system that keeps you alive.
Lol, so with a rebreather you not only don’t scare the little fish away, but the big man eating fish pay more attention to you?.. I gotta get my rebreathing certification! Man I can’t wait to get back in the water again. [(looks at bank account)] Maybe I can.
Do it!.. I won’t even begin to tell you how much $$ it adds up to get rebreather certified and dive one. Some rebreathers sell for $20k and some military units are north of $100k. eeek! There are some for around $2.5k as well.
