Rock Hound Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 My first ever trip to this location. I gave it a go for a few hours today, and I managed to find a few fossils. Nothing here that will blow people away; but I was "very thankful" that I was able to find fossils, without having any local knowledge. It was a learning experience. The location Information, is in the attached photographs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant to say Archeolamna, I have no idea why I said Paleo. I only mentioned that based off of a guide I was given at the park. I swear I am not delusional lol. I will also mention that they could be Scapanorynchus upper lats, I am not an expert on the biota concerning this site.

Here’s a good guide specific to the park- https://www.mdeq.ms.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Circular-4.pdf Unfortunately, it is missing a few species that are found there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
