may 7 & 8

I had some time between projects at work, so I was able to get in a couple of weekday hunts. Thursday's best finds were a little thresher, a projectile point, and a vert with the tip of a small, serrated shark's tooth stuck in it -- I think probably a hemipristis. When viewed under magnification, it's clear the tooth became lodged during feeding. You can see a small cut on the vert that was left by the tooth sliding across before it came to rest where it is today. I have found bones with bite marks in them before, but never anything with a tooth stuck in it. Friday's best find would have to be the 2 13/16 inch tooth that I think is a benedeni. Being relatively new to the hobby, I'm not positive and would like someone to let me know if I have misidentified this tooth. Other Friday finds include a 2 inch great white and 2 1/16 inch mako.
