Shark Tooth Hill
One afternoon we drive about an hour north of Springfield, SD to the famed "Shark Tooth Hill". We took our excavating equipment and began digging and sifting for shark teeth. South Dakota was at the bottom of an ocean millions of years ago and shark teeth and other sea creature remains can be easily found in this area.

Was this over the border into Nebraska? Did you find anything good?
This place was east of Parkston, SD about 15 miles along the Jim River. On this trip we only found a dissapointing two shark teeth. Ronnie Redwing has been here with us in years past where we have found dozens of teeth as well as vertebrae.
Tom, My name is Rob Monson, and I am an avid shark tooth hunter myself. I am from Parkston, and am curious as to where the "hill" is located? Can you give me a relative idea of which side of the river it is on, or maybe whose ground it is on? Would love to hear from you. Are you originally from around here....plenty of Juhnkes to go around! my email is robm@santel.net. I graduated from Parkston in 85 Rob
