Fossil Hunting Hats

Fossil hunters walk creeks and gravel bars looking for animals that died hundreds of millions of years ago, and the community knows exactly how far gone it is. A Fossil Forum thread lists the signs of obsession: your smartphone has more pictures of fossils than of your kids, you mumble 'Megalodon' instead of 'Rosebud' on your deathbed, and 'Another rock? Dude, you're obsessed' gets the answer 'But it's a Pterygotus.' The finds run from creek-bed hunting to Florida's Peace River, where shark teeth turn up alongside mammoth and mastodon bones, and South Carolina's Cooper River, where divers feel for megalodon teeth in near-zero visibility. One Florida diver's 6.25-inch megalodon tooth was his largest in 22 years of diving. These fossil hunting hats play on that obsession. FOSSIL HUNTER and MEGALODON TOOTH HUNTER use the words hunters and search boxes use. ANYTHING IS FOSSILBLE is a pun already sold on TeePublic, TRILOBITES WERE HERE FIRST backs a category of trilobite hats that already sells, and the lines about extinct animals and rocks that are not rocks give the family dragged along something to wear. Hunt-prep guides even tell beginners to bring sun protection including a hat. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for the creek-bed hunter, the diver, or the parent who has now seen six hours of gravel.
