fun with fossils

Well my husband and I went scouting for fossils at the North Sulfur River again this past Friday, didn't find a whole lot, but had a great time. The weather was perfect! I did however find a really nice piece of Mosasaur jaw bone, it has to partial teeth and a small tooth cavity where you can see the tip of a third tooth exposed. When I first saw it I thought it was just another piece of petrified wood, but when I picked it up and turned it over boy did I get excited! I love the NSR!!! Found a couple of really nice sharks teeth as well. Some friends that joined us found some nice fish verts and my husband found a very nice, very small fish vert. All in all it was a great day, spent about 5 hours out there combing that river. Sure wish it'd get a good rain and was some more stuff out. It is just covered in the grey silt right now but I'd go back tomorrow if I could. Sure wish I could win the lottery and move closer to the river. :). Happy hunting everyone.
