Some people just have a knack for spotting things. Those are so small I wouldn’t have even thought to check it out. I have a hard enough time trying to find arrowheads 😂👍🇺🇸

Very true. It took me years to find my first tooth here in Arizona! I would love to eventually hunt for arrowheads, if only the law’s weren’t so stringent on them in this state.

@@elasmocast I’m in Missouri but I look mostly on private land. If it’s on private it’s pretty much fair game. Most rivers and creeks have arrowheads in them here and it is usually within the law if they are on the gravel bars. The fossils here at least where I look are fairly hard for me to find. I’m sure they are there but other states are better as far as I know. Southern Missouri was a marsh I think millions of years ago but I’m in mid Missouri above the water line I think

Private land is the safest way to go for sure. If I recall correctly most of the chondrichthyan teeth I’ve seen from Missouri are from the Paleozoic, and finding those is a very different experience than how, for example, many collectors from the Southeast collect theirs.
