Giant Reef Shark Tooth
Dorchester County, South Carolina, USA - Carcharoides catticus |
|

First, let me say that there is no such thing as a "Giant Reef Shark". They are all just reef sharks. But this tooth is the biggest reef shark tooth I've ever seen! Had it been the only tooth I found today, I would have been happy. But I'm still glad I found others! Is that greedy?... |

I am always happy to find these little gems. They are so rare - I only find a few per year, and the yellow ditch is the only place I ever found more than one.

Now I want to eat some meat. ... |

My second reef shark tooth of 2007! I found one a few months ago and I was very happy. I ended up trading it for some really nice Maryland material, so I needed a replacement. Voila - Nature provides! Apparently, the universe approves of the deal.... |

This little tooth is a killer! No damage to speak of. Just sharp. I love the way these teeth look. So fragile, yet so savage looking at the same time. And they are so rare that when I get one, I count myself lucky. This is only my fifth one ever!... |

This is only the 3rd complete reef shark tooth I've ever found, and its got a GREAT story, but its kind of gross so stop reading here if you're easily disturbed...
I finished my diet pepsi big slam just as I arrived at the pond, and while I dearly wanted to hunt, I REALLY had to pee. I waited until the last minute before I went, and there wasn't time to head to the woods. I had to go right where I was. Of course, I used the eroding properties of the stream to rinse away some dirt, and would... |

These are about the coolest looking little teeth in my opinion. In my whole life, this is the only one I have ever found that was whole. As you may have guessed, they are quite rare.... |
