PRINCE GEORGE — A mother and her step-daughter have found a unique artifact, highlighting the history of this region that goes back thousands of years.
Rachel Cook and her step-daughter Addison Shill were out rock hunting on the Nechako River on April 11 when they discovered what looked to be a shark tooth, embedded in the river bed. Rachel tells us more about the find.
“We both kind of looked up a few feet off of the bank and we both kind of noticed it at the same time. You know, we were looking for agates and it was a little bit of a different color than the rest of the soil that was around it. So we went up to it and had a look and I stuck my fingers in and around it because it wasn’t it wasn’t fully on top. It was a little bit under the mud and popped it up and we’re like, ‘Oh my goodness’, like, we think this is a tooth that we found.” – Rachel Cook
