I got an opportunity to fossil collect in Giant Cement Quarry in January. The area was the “green cap” above the Santee Limestone known for its C. Auriculatus and fossilized whale material. It was a cool windy morning; perfect to dig! Myself, minifossz and microfossz were digging in the green cap finding mostly smaller teeth when I flipped over some overburden only to see the enamel of a whale tooth! It looked relatively large; and I dug with caution. We hummed some choice classic metal and slow... |

Even though I have the boat I decided to hit one of my favorite spots along the river on January 3rd since I had the day off from work. This day was going to be a real good blow out and I really wanted to go to the bay but I knew that the boat wouldn't be able to handle waves like that. B... |
