The good luck that mysterious powers seem to point in the direction of the world’s children, when they fish, metal detect, or in this case fossil-hunt, etc., it’s awesome! I love stories like this one! Plus, I love the thing about her asking for chest waders, how many 9 year old girls want chest waders for Christmas? 😀

I would've LOVED to have found that on Christmas morning...whether in the wild or under my tree! LOL

Good for her! Future paleontologist??

Oh...last time I saw a spider I screamed like a nine-year-old girl...and I want chest waders!! Coincidence? Maybe not! (lol)

Yes. Mentioned in the story is that she went to the Calvert science center with her find, apparently they are where the local megalodon experts are at. Here she is at the Calvert center with their staff and her fossil tooth. Biggest one ever found in the county.
