My second to last trip into Lee Creek for the season and I wasn't finding much, so I figured I'd help out a group of students that were at the mine for the first time. I led them to a Yorktown pile, pointed out some teeth & such, and when they got their search image & I figured they were good to go, I climbed to the top of the pile. I sat & went to tie my bootstrings, and saw this odd root sticking out of the brown Yorktown silt, something that I did not recognize. When I pulled it out, I couldn't believe my eyes---a Megachasma! Turns out only 14 have been recorded from LC & it's the first one since 2005. I was so psyched! Megalodon shmegalodon, I'll take this (rare is rare, after all). Perhaps I earned a bit of good karma helping out those students...
