Finding FOSSILIZED sharks teeth 100+ miles from the coast!
About 84 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, half of Alabama was completely under an inland sea called the Western interior seaway. Because of this, you can find marine fossils such as shark teeth, mosasaur teeth, and even dinosaur fossils here. In this video, my friend and I head out to see what kind of fossils we can find on this prehistoric seabed.

Thank you sir!
I hope this was filmed on a Happy Sunday!
I live in NE Mississippi. There's a creek near me that I have personally found over 200 teeth in about 4 hrs of digging and sifting in the sandbars! I've narrowed down to within 5-10 miles where the coastline had to have been at one time! You don't find any north of a certain point!

Is this on twenty mile creek near the Frankstown fossil park? That’s where I usually hunt when I pass through MS!

Nice! Gotta love being able to find teeth without even having to sift.

@@AlabamaFossilFiend The problem is that you have to buy a load from the quarry because the gravel layer is under about 20 foot of sand.
