A Holiday Ode
(To the tune of Winter Wonderland)

The excavator roars, are you listening?
In the hole, Josh is digging!
A beautiful site,
Uncovering Great Whites,
Digging in the 100 Acre pit!

In the lab, Skye's no miser,
Reconstructing, an Ankylorhiza,
She feels so alive
Now that she and Josh dive
Hunting those black water massive Megs!

In the field you'll find Matt and Tara,
At the Lightning Site poking round and round,
"Do I see an Angie?" Matt asks Tara
"It may be but this clay has got it bound!"

If you like something micro,
Then Dave Ryan is your go-to!
He'll ID that spot, that miniature dot,
Then take a picture Nat Geo would love to have!

If you're feeling really truly lucky,
Book a trip on no more than just a hunch..
You could get the Godfather of local fossils,
The man, the myth, the legend, Mr Bunce!

This past year has been so thrilling,
As the weather starts 'a chillin
Want to go dig? Do you need a diversion?
Book a trip with Palmetto Fossil Excursions!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!

One of those clients whose enthusiasm for the experience spread to all of us and brought us all into the suspense with her! So yesterday at 9 am, she began her dig and by 3pm, she had struck gold with her dreams! Check out the incredible megalodon shark teeth and gorgeous angustidens that she found!!! Congratulations Amber!!! we are just as excited for you as you are!!

Arm load of awesomeness!!! About two weeks ago I got to spend the day digging with an absolutely phenomenonal woman who I am proud to call a friend! Together we carved through the gravel layers in search of fossils and by the end of the day we had unearthed a crazy amount of Otodus angustidens - the grandfather in evolution to the most famous shark of all time - The Megalodon!

The angustidens lived during the Oligocene Epoch between 32 and 22 million years ago and could reach up to 45 ft in length according to modern research. The lowcountry of South Carolina was once home to an angustidens nursery which makes our area a mecca for anyone wanting to scratch this species off of their bucket list!

To help us bring in a little bit more business for the slow season, we have decided to offer monthly specials from now until February. For December, we are offering up 1 free kid admission for any of our Excursions and 25% off a 2nd adult for any 2 adult groups for any of our Excursions for this month starting today (specials will be applied to new bookings only)!!

A few recent finds from Lightning Site this week!! We have had an amazing time digging through both the Wando formation and the Chandler Bridge formation in pursuit of Megalodon teeth and their Oligocene predecessor the angustidens!! In addition to that, we have recovered TWO dolphin skeletons from the site in the last 2 weeks and are chasing down a 3rd!! Remember, this is our slow season but we are still open! If you're wanting to get out with us and have some exclusivity to your excursion with perfect temperatures, this is absolutely the time of year for you!!
