Passing the torch
Dorchester County, South Carolina, USA |

The long 4th of July weekend started off Thursday with a failed trip to the big ditch. I
thought it rained wednesday night, but when I got there, the high scum quotient told
otherwise. I only hung out for an hour, because there was nothing to be found. I went home,
and salvaged the day by doing chores and hangin with the fam. Friday morning, I hit that
giant pit my dad told me about a few weeks ago - the one that's the size of a football field
and has killer Chandler Bridge e... |

Saturday afternoon, I got a call from Indiana letting me know he couldn't go, and t$ has been
strangely absent lately as well, so it was just tha duDe and me for Top Secret. Man, it was
HOT when we got there. By the time we finished our walk down into the pit, we were drenched
with sweat. We welcomed the breeze that a distant thunderstorm brought. 20 minutes later,
though, as we were just getting into the hunt, the thunderstorm wasn't so distant anymore.

2 1/4"Scraper
Berkeley County, South Carolina, USA |
|
|
|
This is a sweet find - its an indian Scraper. At first I thought it was a blade, and then Hank Hill at work told me it was a hide scraper. And to think I almost didn't even pick it up. The vis in the river was pretty bad - like 3 inches because it was slack tide and every move stirred up the bottom. I thought this thing looked peculiar so I picked it up. It turned out to be the best thing I found on that set of dives. ... |

My first dive of 2003
Berkeley County, South Carolina, USA |

Well, we finally got in our first dive of the year. I was thinking to myself, "Why haven't
we gone before now?" That's easy, because the land sites are really churning out the goodies
lately. Still though, diving is awesome so we hit the river. When we went out there, we
really didn't know exactly where we were gonna go, so we looked for a new place up in the
creeks. The spot has potential, but we didn't find anything there to make us want to stay
for a second dive. The secon... |

Yesterday at work my dad called me to tell me about this giant hole in the ground that he saw. It was hard to make it through the day, but I finally did. Last night I went out there and found a HUGE hole - 15 feet deep and as big around as a football field. The entire non-submerged bottom is Chandler Bridge or Wando. Its a total fossil dream spot but its so new that the Chandler Hasn't weathered enough yet. So I really didn't find the killer angustidens I was expecting. I did, however, find plen... |

We still had some daylight, though, so we decided to burn it at Top Secret. Indiana and company had already walked it, but we were there to do some digging. I thought I had a nice meg once, but it turned out to have feeding damage and a dinged up root. tha duDe also had a close call, and his also had a messed up root. We've had days like this before and we'll have them again. But as fossil dorks, we live for the thrill that the occasional big find brings.... |

It was a really hot, humid, stagnant, buggy evening. Still, we were determined to find something. tha duDe was the first to hit paydirt with his 2 3/4" mako. We split up soon after that, and I decided to peel the wall back along this ditch in the back. It took me about two hours to go the whole length, but I didn'... |

This is somewhat of a fluke meg. The day had nearly come to an end, and I hadn't found anything worthwhile yet. I stuck my shovel in the layer and just started working it. I ended up digging a trench 15 feet long, 18 inches wide, and 6 inches deep before I ran across this tooth, but it was just in time. I nearly quit digging just minutes before, but in my despiration, I kept going until the bitter end. But the end turned out to be not that bitter! This tooth has great color, root, and serrations... |

I was supposed to go digging in the morning with tha duDe, but my wife didn't get any sleep last night, so I stayed home to take care of the kidz. I wasn't denied for the day, though, and I got to go out in the evening for a few hours. I took a friend that just moved back in to town out to top secret with me, and we hunted the hills like madmen. It was cloudy, so we only had a little time to hunt. I went one way, and he went another, and we didn't see each other again until dark. I don't know wh... |

3 15/16" Angustidens Tooth
Berkeley County, South Carolina, USA - Carcharocles angustidens |

This tooth, dug directly from the Chandler Bridge at the Big Ditch is just about the best large angustidens I've ever seen. First off, its huge. Its only 1/16" short of 4 inches, so this is about as big as these teeth get. The root is awesome. It has no chips or dings - just some stress cracks which are common on large teeth. There is a tiny bit of pitting, but still, its not enough to make a big deal out of. Next, it has fantastic serrations. Not a single one is missing. The cusps are awesome,... |

Today was an early day - I woke up before 7, and I was at the road into Superpit by 7:30. I got on my bike and started riding in when I noticed how dry the road was since we had gone a whole week with no rain. Against my better judgement, I put my bike back in the truck and started driving down the road. I skillfully avoided the first few spots of mud, and when I hit the major one, I was confident. I steered over to the right side of the road, hugging the ditch on the left and the muddy rut on ... |

A bad day Looking for teeth is better than a good day at work

Today I had an extra opportunity to do a little collecting since it was Memorial day and all. I got up extra early and went down to the ditch so I could hit it and have enough time left over to go do some digging somewhere else. I walked the main part first, and to my surprise there was an overturned Ford Bronco upside down in the ditch. No kidding! I checked for bodies, but there were none, so I continued on my hunt for teeth. I had a little more success in the branch, but still, I didn't find ... |

My next stop was Superpit. Since da f0ssZ's find there last week, I've been excited about going. By the time I got out there, though, the heat and humidity were in full effect. The mud caking my boots didn't make walking very easy, either, so my stay was short. I got in about an hour and a half before I was completely sapped. I wished I had picked a spot with some shade, that way I could have lasted a little longer. Oh well, there's always next week.... |

With all the rain this week, again our hopes were high at our new favorite spot. We arrived at 3:30 on a beautiful, sunny, breezy, SC spring day. It couldn't have been better conditions to collect. We combed the fields and rock laden hills with the scrutiny of the CSI detectives, but there was no killer tooth to be found. I did find one shamer of a 3 3/4" angustidens, but I won't show a close-up because I wouldn't want to give anyone that same sick feeling I had when I saw the mangled root. We f... |

Everyone was hyped because today was the first dive of the year. However, we awoke to rainy, cloudy, windy, and cold weather. That translates to miserable conditions for diving. We were all in agreement with the choice not to go, but that left us with the decision of where to go instead. Since we had so much rain last night, I made the call to Candyland and we were in. Since they are actively working that area, the hunting area is getting smaller each time we go, but still, its one of the best s... |

After a brief but satisfying run to the border, we went back to Superpit so da f0ssZ could see the happy hunting grounds. We only had an hour to dig, so we went at it like men on a mission. We each picked out spots, and in df's first (literally!) shovel-full, was a meg. You could sense his excitement as he excavated it. First, we just saw a root lobe - then another, then the blade. We kept waiting for the defect that makes you go "Awwww!!!", but gladly, it never came. It was df's day to make the... |

We started out the day in dissapointment since we had planned to dive. The
sky was angry, my friends, and diving was out for the day. With a stroke of
genuis, Ditch developed a fossil collecting plan on-the-fly. We headed off
to Candyland with mixed emotions. After a few hours of collecting, Ditch and
I crossed paths and tore into some primo Chandler layer. I scored 4 nice
Angys, and DW had a sweet one. We decided that the Bell was beckoning, so we
found tHa Dude and began to drool at the ... |

After a Bell pillage, we headed off to SuperPit. After spending a few
minutes walking and picking up fragladons, I decided to dig a little. I
located a spot near some whale bones, removed 1" of layer and a beautiful

We departed shortly thereafter and the euphoria of the collecting day has
not waned. ... |

Anticipation was high today as we had lots of rain this past week. Collecting would surely be top notch. The roads would be muddy, though, so we would have to bike everywhere. Unfortunately, we had to tell t$ he couldn't go because we couldn't fit 3 bikes in my truck. I feel I should publically apologize for the fossil dis. I'll make it up to him sometime. Anyway, we head off to Superpit first. It had definitely received plenty of rain, but there really wasn't much laying out for the grab. We en... |

Top Secret had also received plenty of rain, but we were greeted by fresh footprints on most of the good spots. Their search patterns were random, though, and they left teeth in their footprints, so we weren't really worried. We pretty much walked the whole area without much luck. tha duDe and I both found a nice mako but that's about it.

Good thing, too, because it was a scorcher! The heat index was over 100 today, so we probably shouldn't have been outside to begin with, but we couldn't stay a... |

The coolest thing about this tooth, though is the feeding marks on the back of the tooth.... |

When I first found this tooth I was thrilled with the coloration - its one of the prettiest I've ever found. It has orange, white, red, yellow, and purple - yes purple! The only unfortunate thing was that the root was broken in numerous places. In fact, when I cleaned it, parts of it crumbled. I spent a week gluing it back together, and my painstaking efforts paid off. There are only a few visable cracks left. I think it was worth the effort.... |

It just so happens that there is a Taco Bell between Superpit and Top Secret (our next destination), so we stopped for dinner. This was the second time I had Bell food today. In retrospect, I think that was the key. It was only a few miles later, and we were at Top Secret. We stopped at the end of the paving and examined the road ahead. It looked wet, but solid. The inner redneck in me said I could plow through it with my non- 4 wheel drive truck. Tha duDe warned against it, but I went ahead.... |

I thought I was seeing things when I saw this tooth just laying there on the side of the hill. Its one of the sweetest large megs I've seen in a while. The root is killer - it even has a little character on the left root lobe where a clam attached itself and left a ring. The bourlette is fabulous - 95% complete. Plus it has great serrations. The only flaw (if you can call it that) is some feeding damage on the right edge near the tip. You can't even see it from the front, and I didn't notice it ... |

I'm still hunting spots that are productive after rain, and I've been itchin to get back out to Top Secret for weeks.
