Why I like the NSR 2

[Planko]

Hey everyone, 

 

I took a chance and went out early in the light rain to see if it was safe to get into the river basin. As you can see by the lower pics it was. Found 5 (couple beat up ones not  being included) verts total including what I believe is a small plesiosaur.  I think there is a piece of a turtle shell, a small piece of fish jaw bone and lots of items I do not know. Also fun to go out and find some new things to learn about. 

 

I am sure there will be a lot of nice finds after the last rains. 

 

Happy hunting!

It's quite rare to see vertebral processes on these bones.

I'm guessing this is the bone you were thinking was a plesiosaur vertebra? It looks more like a marine reptile phalange ("finger" bone). It could be plesiosaur (podial):

Awesome information. That's why I like the NSR. Great place not only to find stuff but to learn as you go. Thank you!
