The Forgotten Trip


Foshunter

Recommended Posts

Last summer my son and myself went to Lake Texoma for a hunt. I had dreams of finding the elusive Paraptychodus washitaenis, seems dreams is all that materialized, guess that is why they are elusive. Did find a few echinoids and small ammonites and brought home a nice Cretalamna appendiculata in the matrix. My son was hunting the big complete ammonites, myself, I wasn't excited about packing one of these monsters all the way back to the car. Always have a great time hunting with my son, started him hunting the Sulphur R. when he was seven, still tries to out do me, often he does, trust me he likes to rub it in.-----Tom

Why the forgotten trip? Looks like some very rewarding finds, especially the echinoids. I take it those are Cretaceous. Congrats .
