Hi y'all,
Nothing to spectacular to report just excited to have a place to hunt since a recent move. I did enough research to know about 20 mile creek but not to know there is an actual fossil park along it. So I picked a random bridge along the creek that appeared to have some exposed bars. I was pretty excited to find a few shark tooth shards as soon as I got below the bridge. My wife and I set out to get to the exposed bars we could see in the distance. Unfortunately these bars were mostly either entirely sand or clay with little gravel to speak of. At one point I slipped on a rock and went completely in the creek. LoL Later we incountered a rather aggressive snake(appeared to be a cotton mouth) despite it having half a rat or mouse hanging out of its mouth. Since there was a good bit of gravel under the bridge I went back to the car and grabbed the sifters. After sifting for awhile we did come up on some shark teeth, a gastropod, and what looks like maybe a piece of enchodus jaw bone. I will definitely be back. We topped off the day visiting the Shiloh battle field. Here are the pics below. The first being my finds and the second the wife's finds.
Anybody have any other good creeks to recommend for fossils or points in NE MS?
Thanks!
