My walk last Saturday on Tybee Island yielded some above 

average finds. I am pretty sure the fossil at the top is a piece of a 

sea turtle shell.

Just added this little nugget to the collection. It is part of a 7-inch tooth from a megalodon, the largest creature to ever swim in the ocean. It was dug up in a Georgia river bed, and the grooves of the tooth still have bits of brown river sediment in them. Thanks to my friends at The Savannah History Shoppe for the returning customer discount. I heart fossils.

Hooray for Catch and Release!

This seven-foot tiger shark was caught and released last night by a man named Robert on the St. Simons Pier in Georgia. Notice the beautiful spots that explain the tiger shark's name. Georgia has a great catch and release award program that incentivizes fishermen to treat the animals with care instead of killing them for trophies. The documentation associated with the program also allows the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division to monitor the shark population. The photo is courtesy of St. Simons Bait and Tackle. 

Here are my dates for central North Carolina this fall. New dates are being added all the time, so keep checking on my Amazon Author Central page (http://www.amazon.com/Ashley-Oliphant/e/B00MSBTBZE).

I should have new dates on the coast to announce soon!
