Aquia Formation TripI took off work to find some solitude, peace, and a Paleocarcharodon. I found the first two, but not a Paleocarcharodon. I did find plenty of teeth and a tooth that I haven't found before, I think... Plus, there were plenty of fossils. The weather called for showers all day, but that just didn't happen. It was actually rather pleasant. The winds were NNE at 10-20 mph, which was perfect pushing water out of the river and creating just enough wave action to keep the beach mixed up for me. It was very fun and relaxing, so much that I didn't feel like stopping to eat lunch!

I think that this is a goblin shark, Anotomodon novus, but I'm not sure. I have to examine more closely. |

I'm not sure yet what this tooth is. I think that it's Brachycarcharias lerichei maybe? |

I think that this is a piece of a turtle shell with some nasty bite marks on it. |
