Yo, it's wild to think of all the things that had to happen for that tooth and that girl to be there at the same time in that moment.

I know you can just buy one but it must be amazing to find something like that yourself.

This tooth is HUGE!!! There are a few beaches along the bay where you can literally scoop up a handful of fossils and old sedentary goodies. I spent about 2 hours sifting specifically shark teeth and my best find was one the size of a jelly bean. I was told by locals that anything bigger than the size of a fingernail is pretty rare. This is a treasure for sure!
