JarrodB Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I spent a few hours each at the North Sulphur River Texas and Post Oak Creek Texas. I had a nice variety of cretaceous finds. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson g Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 @JarrodB nice finds, I didnt find a single tooth when I was at the creek the other day! But I also don't know what I'm looking for lol. I did find something similar to the far left hand center item. Is it a coral? This is the one I found below.

fifbrindacier Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Yes, those are corals. I didn't know there were bottles in the Cretaceous. 2 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

I imagine the number of the bottles they must have dropped while hunting Argentinosaurus. 1 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

jcbshark Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Nice finds, I’m a little jealous of all the artifacts you find out there too bad that large shark tooth was broken. It was a real monster! Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just recently took my first trip to POC to look for shark teeth too. I hadn't done it before and wasn't sure of the best technique(s) to use so tried a few different things. The thing that worked best for me was to just sit down and look closely then scoot over to a new spot. All my best finds were hidden right on the surface of the pebble bars!

I usually crawl with knee pads and gloves and scoot around sitting down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
