Newbie Notes I’ve had these fossils for a while. I’ve had a chance to research them and I have an idea of what they might be . . . but as a newbie I’m not positive. So, I defer to the professionals for the final ID. With the help of the veterans at this forum, (11) fossils were ID in my first two posts. Thanks. The following pics are group number four. The first fossil in this group was found a great distance away, but the depositional environment appears to be the same or similar.

Newbie Notes Updated and revised from 6/28 ~ September 2020 I decided to become a fossil hunter. I searched the internet and found the North Sulfur River. My first three visits I found coral fragments and small fossil wood. I was still hopeful. I then reviewed several maps of the area and decided on the road less traveled by. Went there November 2020 and found my first fossil. I followed the strata in which that fossil was found. The strata led me up a creek and that creek was laden with fossils. I hunted that creek countless times and found a bunch of nice fossils. On my last two visits they were scarce, so I stayed away for six months. I returned this May and it was the same as it ever was. I’ve had these fossils for a while. I’ve had a chance to research them and I have an idea of what they might be . . . but as a newbie I’m not positive. In the first group I posted for ID, I thought a cervical vert was a pygal/postpygal and a scapula was a coracoid. So, and as it should be, I defer to the professionals for the final ID. With the help of the veterans at this forum, (7) fossils were ID in my first post; they made it look easy. Thanks The following pics are set number two. I thought the fossil dated 1/18 was a piece of wood until I turned it over. The second and third on 2/7 came in quick succession. Three months later I found the fourth fossil in this set. I did review Russells's Manual and found the last fossil on page 50 . . . I've got more here related to these, just got to process the pics.
