We started the day as we do all others but when we got to the beach today we found there were already 4 people on the beach!!!!!! Now we got there at 6am!!! So i figured they just got there and it would be ok. Well the first person i come up to is a familiar face, Tony, he tells me he has been here since 4am and the other 3 were there before him!!! He showed me his meg and told me he was leaving because there was nothing going on and that he would be back at 3pm. As soon as he leaves i find my b... |

I took my family for a weeks vacation at Matoaka Cabins. The mission was to find each of them their first Megs! The first day gave us nothing but a few Hemis and other small teeth. The next time we hunted NSO (not-so-obsessed) my fiance' found a nice 1 3/4" lateral. One down two to go! We went to another spot where my daughter found a sweet 2 1/2" Meg with bite marks on it! Only one more to go... The last day we were there we stopped and started hunting. Several hou... |

Hannah fizzled out

Well, the short of it is Hannah didn't do what most of us cliff junkies were hoping for, and that is, create new falls (cliff collapses with large piles of fresh fossil dirt). At best all hannah did was stir up the beach a little. I payed very close attention to the storm track. I actually drove down to the beach Sat morning, just as the storm was hitting the Carolinas. I had about 3 or 4 hours before the rains and winds would come, so ... |

What Happened to Hannah?

Even though Tropical Storm Hannah wasn't as severe around here as was forecast, I still had to go out to the Bay on Sunday to see if the storm had improved the hunting conditions. The weather was great, and I couldn't get there until about noon, so I wasn't surprised to see the parking lot completely filled at Brownies Beach. As I walked down to the beach, I was hoping that the water was low enough to allow me to get t... |

i got to bring home a bunch of nice stuff like a new car!!!! The boat ran perfect again and made it to the beach with no problems. Just feet from the boat i find a meg in the water. I really wanted to stay but had a good feeling about going down the beach. After 2miles of walking i found.......well nothing. The most common find were the broken hemis. My dad already found a few nice hemis, a worn meg, and a small dolphin tooth. He heads way down the beach and i stayed around the boat, bad choice,... |

Well we had problems with the boat again, it took over an hour to get it going but when we got to the beach there was no one there!!!! whats the chances of that and to make it better there in the water was the best looking gravel i have ever seen. My dad walks down the beach and finds a nice meg, I stay at the gravel and start to rake. First i get a meg with a little of the root broken, then a few makos. Soon my dad comes back and in one of my gravel piles i see a root!!!!! I pull out a perfec... |

the boat worked well this time but that doesnt help you find fossils, up and down the beach we went and still nothing good. The gravel looked great but i guess someone took all the stuff the day before. I did find a few cool fossils, a vert with 2 holes from croc teeth that bit the mammal, and a nice whale tooth.

Things seemed slow at first, there wasnt much around but i was able to find an exposed block under the sand and in it was a 2" meg. A few feet down the beach i find a smaller reworked meg. My dad finally catches up, I look down in the water and see a rock, didnt look like anything so i walked over it. My dad picks it up and it ends up being a nice meg! He also found 2 coprolites. I found a broken fish skull cap and when i get home i find that my dad found the other half. I found a real nice... |

It's been a while since I posted a trip from the Bay. Actually, it's been almost a month since anyone posted a Bay trip. I'd bet that every other Bay hunter is in the same boat as me: I'm still going out every week, but I'm just not finding much. We haven't seen any real storms in a good while, so there haven't been any new falls, and nothing is eroding out of the cliff. At the same time, the number of people collecting there... |
