Here in coastal South Carolina its another day in paradise, as long as your idea of paradise is a sandy pit full of muck and stinky water. Oh, and also shark teeth. Not just puny little ones either, I'm talking about the huge fossil kind the size of your hand from the extinct giant white shark Megalodon. Millions of years ago this entire area was under the ocean and all kinds of big juicy marine mammals lived here, and megalodon was never the kind of predator to turn down a big fat whale, blubberlicious dugong, or even a fun size seal snack. We call this sandy pit Sloth Party because we found so many sloth fossils here, but I've already told that story. The ghosts of all that action are still here in this very pit. Their bones litter the bottom of this hole where we have been graciously granted permission to collect these fossils before they are dug out or buried forever. We dig the sand, clay, mud, and gravel to pluck the tooth treats from their graves, hoping to disinter a big one. ‪@AncientAdventures‬ and I have been very lucky in this place to find so many. I've been keeping count, that's the numbers you see in the video when I find a complete megalodon tooth. Today I found special Halloween themed meg tooth with a sinister face, its cold gaze staring back as if from an ancient tomb whispering frightening tales of primeval horror, a haunting rising anew from the prehistoric sea.

That patho of Diva's is magnificent. Nothing I love more than patho fossils.

Cool finds. Hey, do me a favor. If you get a chance. On your next video, please explain your thoughts on why you find Angustiden's in the same layer as Megalodon's. I'm sure I'm not the only one that might find that interesting. ~cheers

​@@roadkillscjim i have hunted teeth and calcite crystals in florida but never echinoids. i have a few that a friend gave me, i think he said they were from around Jacksonville. next time i go down there it might be cool to hunt those.

I’d love to hunt with you!! Are you in Charleston area? Do you have a website or Facebook link to book an expedition with you? I’d be very interested, I’m local.

I am in the charleston area but I am just an amateur collector so I don't lead tours. you'll find lots of people who do on instagram.

Question: your finding megs and angustidens in this area but Where are the chubs ??
@blackriverfossils
@blackriverfossils 11 месяцев назад
There are chubs in the meg layer but they are all worn like the megs are. we very rarely find pristine chubs because all of our Miocene layers were scoured out and redeposited with the megs.

I gotta ask, since I'm sure this site has been developed by now... Is there a particular reason the layer always appeared to be conveniently located just under the surface at Sloth Party? Either you know the owner/s very well, or that is the luckiest coincidence I've ever seen!
@blackriverfossils
@blackriverfossils 11 месяцев назад
the real luck was getting permission to hunt there. Its not quite the coincidence you might think that they dug down to the top of the layer and stopped. They were mining sand and they didn't want the gravel. One of the workers told us that the rocks and clay jam up the machine they use to clean the sand.
@aaronmtusa9004
@aaronmtusa9004 11 месяцев назад
Quite lucky indeed, but I should know that by now, after following you for some time... I have a sneaking suspicion that you deserve all of that good karma! Thank you for all the great content and congrats on Diva's patho and that lil smoker Angy!! That's one of the nicer ones you've pulled on the channel lately. I don't even want to think about how many fossils were destroyed before they realized what was jamming up the machinery. Let me know the next time you're back in FL and wanna dive a new river for some Eocene, late-Miocene & Pleistocene goodies. Take care and happy hunting 🤙​@@blackriverfossils​

@@aaronmtusa9004 this will blow your mind - the guy actually said "i hate those things" referring to shark teeth because they always get stuck and they are forever picking them out by hand. i asked him if he saved any and he said he had a few but other than that he just throws them on the ground or back into the pit. my jaw dropped and he laughed and said they were all destroyed by the time they were stuck in the screens and other various parts. its crazy how much perspective differs when its your job as opposed to your hobby! thanks for the invite! we were just down there not too long ago but we didn't hunt teeth. we were hunting around on the treasure coast and visiting her dad.

It would be an honor and a pleasure to take you hunting, and that's cool to hear... I've found many smaller teeth walking the beaches having grown up on the space coast. I also never thought my soul could hurt after reading a reply to a RU-vid comment, but you've surprised me yet again sir! So many smokers and giants lost to progress. @@blackriverfossils​
