We had tons of rain recently and decided to go try out our land sites for shark teeth. It turned out to be a very good call! It has been a while since we found this many teeth on dirt roads here in Florida. I also managed to find my first ever Florida Parotodus shark tooth, a very rare species of extinct mackerel shark, sometimes called a false-tooth mako.



For those who don't want to watch the vid, here's all the teeth we got:

And a better pic of the giant Parotodus, the new love of my life:

Thanks for looking!

Wow. Cool finds. I will say it again, I wish I would have thought to hunt the old roads for teeth when we were wintering down there.

So cool. Hard to find 'em of any size up this way. That's some good looking dirt down there. Thanks for sharing!
