For most of the time, I was searching just 200m East of the 'Rand'. In the end I gave up and went eastward to see how my old hunting ground was doing. The good news is that the obscuring cover of sand that was covering the most fossiliferous areas appears to be clearing. The bad news is that the newly exposed pebbles seem to have provided a lot of ready-made surfaces for seaweed to bind to. So, yet again, the pebbles are largely obscured. Arghh! Still, there's hope now.
A bright, sunny day and almost windless. Sounds like perfect conditions for a fossil hunt but they weren't. I was getting a lot of glare off the pools of water and wet sand. Even with sunglasses, it was very difficult to see well, let alone focus. So it was very slim pickings: Just 8 very run-of-the-mill shark teeth.
