Shellseeker Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Out again yesterday... A little cool ... 85 and overcast, starting at 65 degrees. Better choice than today high of 71. A 5mm wetsuit took care of that. A little deeper that makes many locations unavailable or cause you only to dig the top 6 inches... Not many out hunting, likely waiting for better conditions. With Hurricane Ian, lots of change, trees down, sections of the river cleaned out, sand and gravel moved around. My finds.. Not all that impressive until you look at a couple of my favorites in lower right..... I really enjoy marine mammal fossils like Whale teeth, Odd exterior pattern on this one... and a broken Dolphin tooth that has me wondering... Is this a long beaked Dolphin tooth or something else.... The one from 2017 is 23 mm in length. My find yesterday.. This is rare for me, maybe once every 2-3 years... 1 9 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Went back, eliminated Shark teeth and checked the small broken pieces...I pick up anything that looks like enamel (Barracuda, Rostral, Gator), examine and toss back into the river next trip. And so, I decided to add this to my fossil ID, from the center of the above photo... Mammoth root ???, Horse sliver? I do not think so.... Looking for suggestions.... 2 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Fun Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Nice finds Jack. I’ve been wanting to get out to the river, but likely cannot make a trip until the of February. Hopefully I can find a fraction of what you Daniel have posted from your recent trips. Rick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick I have started going to places that both I and many others have hunted intensively. I have an expectation that I may prospect some areas that are not going to be productive. It has been 4 months since the Peace River was easily hunt-able, and the Hurricane and storms really changed the geography and moved things around, both sand and gravel. I move frequently and try to take the top layers , rather then dig deeply. It is like it has been with numerous small teeth in the top layers. Good luck out there...

Family Fun Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I can only imagine after the historic river levels things have changed drastically changed since my last out, probably July of last year. I am planning a trip on the 25th of February, hopefully the level and flow will be down even more by that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
