Wow!! Look at that beautiful shark tooth @authorkelliebeggs.bsky.social! Some day I hope I can send you my JOURNEY OF A SHARK TOOTH picture book, Todd! Just need a publisher!😉
Awesome weekend of fossil hunting the Peace River. Over 200 shark teeth to go along with fossilized dugong, deer, turtle, horse, croc, gator and pufferfish bones. Also have a few chunks of ancient limestone seabed.
