Examples of teeth in the creek.
The area was once an island in a shallow prehistoric ocean.
There are thousands and thousands of teeth imbedded in the earth in the area, these wash out when it rains and literally litter the banks of the creek, our group of nearly 100 had NO trouble finding 30+ teeth each.
