Green's Mill Run, NC:
Cretaceous to Pliocene
October 1st, 2006
"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 Green’s Mill Run. This was our first 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 teeth were worn or broken, but occasionally a nice 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.
