An outdoorsy eight-year-old found a fossilized shark tooth from a long-extinct species while he was on a family vacation in South Carolina earlier this month of August 2022.
Young Riley Gracely of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, traveled to Myrtle Beach, S.C., for vacation along with his father, Justin Gracely, his mother, Janelle Gracely, and his brother, Collin, in August.
During the trip, the family stopped by Palmetto Fossil Excursions, an educational fossil-hunting expedition facility in Summerville, South Carolina.
There, Riley “was walking around the bases of these piles of gravel and dirt and noticed what he thought was the edge of a tooth,” said the proud father, Justin Gracely, in an email to Fox News Digital.
“When he pulled it out, he was so excited.”
Riley had uncovered a 4.75-inch angustidens tooth in the company’s “premium” gravel layer.
