... and it is only the beginning of January. A bucket list item I have been hunting for for a while. Plesiosaur vertebra from the Eagle Ford of North Texas.

Nice find!

Thank you all! Third plesiosaur find from this sight for me. My buddy also found a vert there last week. Hopefully a sign that 2021 will be a good one.

Fantastic! Saw this one on FB too. Great find.

Yes. That’s the one. Don’t usually share everywhere but this was one I have been looking for for quite some time.

excellent start.  Since you are calling this the fossil of the year already, does this mean you will hang up your rock hammer until next January?  I hope not, and I hope you can find a competitor in the next 11 1/2 months.

Congrats!!! Definitely a special find. Hunting the eagle ford can be daunting sometimes with how scarce good finds come along. Happy to see your work paying off :Smiling:

Ha! No. Hunting will continue. Hoping for many more finds this upcoming year. 2020 was full of great finds for me and this would have been my crowning jewel of 2020. Fingers crossed this is just a sign of a good new year. Thank you!

Thank you. The EF has turned up quite a lot for me last year. Hoping for a few more goodies before the end of the new year!
