Just thought I’d share some of my NC fossils. Still unpacking from a move and a fair amount of my collection is boxed up somewhere, but below are the larger teeth I’ve found on Sharktooth Island in the Cape Fear.
The great white in the top left is actually from Masonboro Island, and it is what restarted my interest in fossils. Growing up I was always interested in fossils, but didn’t have many opportunities to collect them. When we went to the beach I’d look, but that was about it.
I ended up attending UNCW, and went camping on Masonboro Island. I was walking around on the beach barefoot, and was looking for anything sharp so that I could avoid stepping on it and getting punctured. Ended up spotting that tooth and it helped me realize that I was no longer a kid without transportation, I could finally take myself fossil hunting.
Ended up going to Shark Tooth Island and Keg Island several times while I was a student at UNCW.
