Hit the Edisto river yesterday. I did not get in the water but we had two divers that did. It was a gorgeous sunny day with air temps in the 70's. The water temp was 56 deg F. The divers each had a 120 cube steel tank and got about 2 hours on the bottom. They wore 7mm wetsuits, skins underneath, hood, and gloves.
The morning started in grand fashion.
We motored down the river in search of sharks teeth

Specimens brought back to the boat by the divers
Complete tooth. Has all three corners. Serrations stop before the tip
First exposure to the sunlight in who knows how long
This is what I have named the Edisto Black Beauty. This tooth will clean-up to a shiny black gloss
Excellent specimen in my opinion. Not a common find. Will clean up well.
