Took A Long Hike Today

[musicnfossils]

I wanted to try some new spots that are closer to home, so a family here was nice enough to take me out to their land near Dinosaur Provincial Park and allow me to surface collect. I only kept two things (wasted a good portion of the day searching for tyrannosaur teeth to no avail) but I did find some neat stuff so I thought I’d share. Please excuse the circling and the caption, those were for Instagram. 

 

Nice & green this time of year. Won’t look like that for long. 

 

Heres something I found a few times today; random pits of petrified wood just shattered. 

 

Here’s a good 10 inch chunk that I kept. 

 

 

More petrified wood. 

 

Dino bones. Most of them were broken and difficult to tell what they were, as the dinosaur park area bones usually are. 

 

Please excuse the circling. It was for Instagram. This was the largest bone I seen today, was over 2 feet long most likely but it was at an awkward place so I didn’t climb any higher to get close. 

 

Excuse the caption. This one was fairly large as well. 

 

This one I kept because it was one of the only good condition bones that wouldn’t require excavation. Hadrosaur toe bone. (thanks jpc for the help)

Nice report and pictures.

No need to apologize for the circles. It helps non-bone guys like me know what we are looking at!  

 

Thanks for sharing!

Great trip, thanks for posting photos!!

Thanks everyone! I’m hoping they let me take a second trip, their land is massive and I simply didn’t have time to explore it all...and it’s not every day you find people who will not only give you free access but don’t mind you keeping stuff too.
