Green's Mill Run Fossil Hunt
Green's Mill Run, North Carolina Fossil Hunting Trip - Fossil Shark Teeth and Mosasaur Hunt!
"Green's Mill Run"
This is an interesting stream. It contains fossils from the Cretaceous into the Pliocene. You never know what you can find.
On our fall trip to Aurora, we decided to take some extra time and hunt the fossil laden creek: Green’s Mill Run. This was our first fossil trip here. Paul also came down for a bit before heading back home. We spent most of the time exploring different creek sections and sifting any gravel bar we could find. For a first trip, our results were good. Most fossil shark teeth were worn or broken, but occasionally a nice fossil tooth would show up.
Here is a perfect Great White Paul found. It's approximately 1.5"
This is a perfect Great White we found. It's about 1 3/16", small but nice.
This is a very worn arrowhead we found.
