MEGALODON ANCESTOR!! | Paleocene Fossil Shark Tooth Hunting
Рет қаралды 3,318
Күн бұрынOld hunt, NEW video!
Join me as I go searching for teeth of the extinct species Otodus obliquus, the ancestor of the famous megalodon (the largest shark to ever exist)! This site preserves fossils from the Paleocene Epoch (66-56 million years ago). Most of the teeth found here belonged to a variety of sand tiger-like sharks, but occasionally you can find other goodies like tiny crocodile teeth and fish mouth plates. This was a very successful hunt! I can’t wait to get back out there.
If you’re planning on attending the 2023 Aurora Fossil Festival and wondering if I’ll be there, the answer is yes! I’ll see you this weekend!

Are you at the Aurora Fossil Festival this weekend. I hope you were able to make it. A friend and I has reservations to be there all weekend. Unfortunately, I fell and broke my right femur. I was so looking forward to being there. I can't wait to see any video you may have from being there.

It's actually my good friend Walt's boat! I believe he typically uses a Yamaha 15 or 25 horsepower outboard motor. Not sure exactly what model. Cheers! ~HH

Great otodus, I would love one that size and condition. The only ones over 2 I have are extremely worn and busted.

The sand tigers are mostly Striatolamia Macrota and the smaller one with crusps is a lamna Lerichei.
