Shark teeth
« on: October 13, 2021, 01:58:26 PM »
I was looking for pics of Civil War stuff I've dug up metal detecting but didn't find many so I'll post these instead. I dug these out of the Luxapallila Creek bank in Columbus MS sometime around 2007.



Some of them are tiny.

No I was bank fishing and sat on one  (7+" I'm probably the only person that has been bit on the butt by a shark that's been dead for 35 million years or so.  ^j) (7+" Those little ones are still needle sharp. At first I was digging them out of the top surface which was mostly little ones. Then I moved down closer to the water and found bigger ones. My dig buddy was with me and he found one that looked like a 3 inch long Kris. That was one wicked looking tooth. I also found a piece of fossilized crocodile poop and some amber and pre amber. Tim just wait till I find my pics of CW relics I've dug up.

Here's a little sample of my dug bullets. At one time I had a shoebox full but gave most of them away. I still have about 100 or so of them.

That's quite a way inland from the Gulf to be finding shark teeth, but going back that many millions of years ago, I'm sure the lay of the land was much different than it is now. Really cool find.

That's cool stuff Hawg! I showed the picture of the teeth to my 10 year old son. He really thought it was cool. He's a dinosaur maniac.

PM me your address and I'll send him a few. It may not be right away because I haven't seen them in awhile but I will send them.
