My Shark Teeth Collection!

I have found some of the tiniest shark's teeth in the world! Most of you may not know I have not always been a country girl. In fact, I've spent most of my adult life on the beaches of Florida. Collecting shark's teeth was one of my most favorite things to do! I had a much larger collection (about 2 freezer bags full), but they were unfortunately stolen from me. This is all I have left, but I'm happy to have them! I put some quarters on the sheet to show some scale. Some of the shark teeth are very tiny as you will see.




There are several species in my collection, from sand sharks, lemon sharks, tiger sharks, reef sharks, mako's, and many more! Some not so old (lighter colored) and some prehistoric! That is so cool to me!







I have a few special finds as well. This is a piece of shark vertebrae.


These are whale teeth.



This is a cow shark tooth. Kinda rare.



This looks like some kind of canine tooth, but I'm not really sure. I found it in two pieces. I found the second piece about 2 foot away from the first. That was pretty lucky!



And this was extremely rare and special to find! It's some kind of prehistoric molar tooth. I showed all four sides.


I miss adding to my collection, but David and I plan on settling down there one day and I plan on adding 100's more!

Rattlesnake Roundup! Claxton, GA

David and I rode over to Claxton for the Rattlesnake Roundup! Lots of snakes, arts & crafts, and snakes!! It was pretty fun!

 

 

 

 

Old House

We went to visit a friend the other day and I photographed this really old home on his property. Kinda looks like the fireplace was built on the wrong side! I added an a washout sepia tone to these pics.

Powderhouse

Have you ever heard the phrase "as dry as a powderhouse"? Well, this is where that term comes from. This is a photo of a real Powderhouse. This is where they stored the powder they used to mine for limestone in this area many years ago. They had to keep the powder dry at all times or it would be no good.

We saw a snake slithering around in there but I don't know what kind it was.

Blue Springs!

Blue Springs is practically in the backyard of a friend of ours. It is so beautiful and clear! You can see straight through to the limestone! These springs are 100% bacteria free! I scooped up a big glass and drank it down!

In these 2 photos you can see the head of the spring! And there are tons of little bubbles where the water is coming up!




This is our friends dog, Josie!






Of course, I had to put my feet in!



Here you can see where the springs run into other water from Beaver Creek.




I can't wait to come back here this summer!!
