From BlackRiverFossils.org: "Last weekend my Dad and I tried a new spot and we had the best day we've ever had. The day began great right away when I found a 2 5/8 inch chub in my 3rd sift. The trip was already a great one. A few sifts later I found a beautiful 2 inch desori and while I searched through the same sift a little more I found a really nice 1 5/8 inch lateral desori. Finding 2 really nice makos in the same sifts is extremely rare in NJ. At this point I couldn't believe my luck. Then a few minutes later to my amazement I see the tip of a tooth sticking out of the gravel that I was about to sift. I pulled it out and it was a 1 5/8 inch chub. after finding that chub things slowed down for a little while as we picked up the usual sandtigers but I did manage to find another smaller mako at 1 3/8 inches."
