Thirty years later, and about 50 miles south, the feds would fail in an attempt to ignite 250,000 gallons of bunker fuel with napalm. They got it right the next day...sort of. Much of the fuel leaked out of the New Carissa’s hull before burning.

My children are ages 44, 41, and 38...They are all three very well adjusted and have great lives...The same goes for my 5 grandchildren who have been taken care of extremely well by their parents...

Maybe you need to consider making your comments toward something or someone that you know a little bit about instead of going off when you have no idea who or what you are commenting on...

Have a nice day......

Do you understand that this is not about YOU but what you wrote. I didn’t say that you were like this, I just said it had a hint of it. Which then triggered a reaction based on my experiences with friends. I’m glad that everything worked out for you and your family-very happy and thankful that you didn’t raise a bunch of dependents. I have a very good idea of what I am commenting on based on personal experiences. How about YOU not making assumptions and go off on something you have no idea who you are commenting to...Maan people are so unable to see outside of their own existence. I was going to let this go, but your sanctimonious attitude...

Okay, let’s go. Maryland Miocene - Calvert Cliffs Formation including Scientist and Governor’s run range in age from approximately 3 - 25 million years old. Carcharendon teeth are a light gray and the bigger ones go up to about 6”.

This Miocene formation dives under the water at Plum Point, Md, just above the Calvert Cliffs high climbs - about 30-40 ft high.

The Miocene formation at the Texas Gulfport phosphate mines on the Pamlico River, N.C. have the most beautiful Megalodon teeth - range over 6 inches in length and are dark Amber in color. You should have seen the bragging contest a group of us had at the end of the three hour allowed searching time.

Several 5 inch-plus Ambers, my little 1.5 inch Sperm whale tooth and the winner in length, a 9 inch Walrus Tusk - aka Mr. Banana.

Turtle Beach seems to have the Gray type of teeth.

Florida Miocene Megs that I have seen in others collection were dark/black tar colored.

Hope to find one in a few weeks. Will gloat if I do.

Ps: I minered in Geology in college. Joke intended for you English majors.
