We had a wonderful fossil hunt in Cottageville South Carolina yesterday. We found lots of pieces of fossilized sharks teeth and even found a few complete teeth. The types of sharks teeth we found were Angustiden, Megalodon, Snaggletooth, and Tiger. One Squalodon whale tooth was found. Quite a few pieces of petrified wood were found and collected. The Edisto river was absolutely gorgeous yesterday. The early morning fog rising off the flat, black, still water and the sounds of the critters waking and sounding out made for a wonderful experience. The water was actually moving but not very fast. The current was perfect for fossil hunting. The diving was easy. The backwoods river was at 10-15 feet with no boat traffic. We had visibility, and 5-7mm of neoprene, with hood, kept one as comfortable as laying at home on the sofa. The participants were John (Surry Virginia), Rusty (Port St. Lucie Florida), Clint (Columbia SC), Phil (Eutaville SC), Lee (James Island SC)
Fossil Hunt Photos
Tied off the boat, suited up, dropped in. The 79 degree water felt good. One foot of viz with flashlight. Current was strong in middle of river. Giant gravel. Large grain brown sand. Gray clay under sand. Few critters. 7-8 foot depth max. Bits, pieces, small teeth, untill the 4" Angustien (or Ariculatis) came up from the bottom. (my four Hemi's did not make the photo shoot)
Could anyone entertain a few divers Monday 6-19-200012 or Tues. 6-20-2012 for a one day trip? Two experienced divers and one new. we have our own equipment.
From what the root looks like it doesn't look like a mako. Looks more like a sand tiger or something similar.. I could be wrong tho.. Our makos have much thicker roots, even the lowers...
if you are asking how cold is the water i can tell you: the Cooper River is 69 degrees F. The ocean cools much slower so I would guess it is 75 degrees F or so.
