Hot Texas Creek Hunt!


JarrodB

Recommended Posts

I hunted a remote stretch in Northeast Texas and found a nice variety of items. The vert is from a good size mosasaur. The sawfish teeth always seem to be broken. I found some small shark teeth and a piece of cretaceous turtle shell. The bottles are from the 1930's and 1940's. I really like the Groves Tasteless Chill Tonic bottle. I posted a little info on the old bottles. We saw at least twenty wild hogs in one pack crossing the creek and one giant solo wild boar.

Based on the ads above, I think I'd like to try the shampoo but I'll pass on the tonic - why would we want to make our kids "as fat as pigs"???  What a weird ad... :wacko:

 

Nice finds, Jarrod!

Great finds! I started liking artifacts before fossils, so I always appreciate them!:thumbsu:

Nice finds! Thank you for including the broken bottle info, always interesting to see things from the not-so-distant human past too.

During the 1930's fat kids equaled healthy kids. Hard times back then.

Nice finds. Looks like the top most shark tooth is a Serratolamna. Are those rare in Texas?

Makes me think of the Bob Wills song Roly Poly "...daddy's little fatty"

The ad, and therefore the bottle I assume, are from the 1890s. Same situation back then too?

 

I'm surprised how crude the glass bottles were even in the 1940s-50s. Not much better than the 1800s. I found a small medicine bottle while collecting fossils at a site near the old hospital where I was born (now an extended care unit), and I figured it was early 1900s if not late 1800s, but was told it was from around the mid-1900s. I should get a pic of it. It is a stopper-type top, not a screw cap, and the hole is off-center.

Nice finds as always! Are you sure that vert is not plesiosaur? From one angle it seemed like it. What formation is this creek just wondering.
