I want to tell you about a weekend fossil hunting trip I took a few weeks ago.
It
was a cold, but sunny Saturday in December.
I live about three and one half hours
from the beach I was planning on visiting, so I started out rather early, about
4:30am.
I was going to Edisto Beach State Park in South Carolina.
This was a trip I had been anticipating for quite some time.
Because I live in South
Carolina, most of my fossil hunting trips have been limited to the beaches of my
state.
I had not visited Edisto Beach before this.
The majority of my trips have
been to the beaches of Myrtle Beach and Hunting Island.
I had read that Edisto
Beach State Park was an excellent beach to hunt fossils so naturally I was eager to
visit.
First, a little history about my fossil hunting.
Some twenty years ago or so I was
invited to go to the beach with an aunt.
During the trip, Aunt Nita introduced me
to hunting sharks teeth.
Maybe I was a little young, but I did not enjoy this past
time.
