Castle Hayne

This past week was out annual vacation to Ocean Isle, NC.  The first picture is of teeth that I found in the surf.  On Friday of last week, I made the trek north to Castle Hayne Quarry.  I don't recall seeing any trip reports from there on here as of yet.  After the hour long trip, I checked in and made my way to the collecting area.  The area for fossil collecting was pretty massive.  But, some of it was really overgrown.  And I didn't feel like running into any snakes so I didn't venture in there.  A little farther back there were hills of loose rock where I found most of the teeth.  The rock hills were quick to give way which made it treacherous.  My first decent find was a little beat up ric.  About an hour into the hunt I happened upon my best find of the day... the crow tooth.  I also found a cool little tooth in matrix and a broken mosasaur? tooth.  Collecting was from 1-4 pm but my day was cut short as a massive thunderstorm sent my running back to the car at 2:30.  It was a good experience nonetheless.  Oh I put this under Pender County since there was no choice for New Hanover County, NC on the list.
