Finally Something Rare from the Home Creek

Rain has been scarce around the Lowcountry lately. It takes a quick heavy rain to wash out the creek close to my house enough to expose any new teeth. We got some rain and when I arrived I wasn't sure if it was enough to do any good. You can always tell because of the scum buildup in the bottom of the ditch. Thick scum = not enough rain to do any good. I shook my head and decided to give the creek a cursory look just in case. Sometimes, the sand moves just right and reveals something good and today it happened.  Today I got a complete one in just such a sand washout. In years of hunting this ditch, I have found many reef shark teeth, but all were broken before this one.
