garyc Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 After JCBshark's spectacular day, I had to represent Texas! This is the haul from my best day ever as far as quantity and diversity goes. Two sloth toes, 2 giant armadillo osteoderms, 2 gator/croc osteoderms, camelops tooth, llama phalanx, proboscidean carpal?, another proboscidean large limb chunk, a tiny 1.5in phalanx surrounded by matrix and a point! The second pic is full of chunkosaurs and a nice piece of pet. palm wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Looks like you had a great time! Those sloth phalanges are particularly nice! -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleoworld-101 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Very nice, i agree, the phalanges are wicked cool!

Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bone2stone Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Awesome! I probably already know the answer to this question but...... Was the point associated with any of the finds? Normally creek finds are so scattered that associating a singular find with another is remarkable. Sloth finds are very interesting, never run across one in all my treks. Now get out there and find a rhino.....something else I have not come across. Jess B. Fellow Texan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Interestingly...it's conceivable that garyc could find a rhino in his area. There are a number of exposures of Miocene sediments along the Texas Gulf Coast that have yielded rhino remains, My only successes at finding rhinos in Texas have been up in the Panhandle area where Miocene/Pliocene sediments are also exposed. One might also have some modicum of success in the Big Bend area if you were looking for Eocene/Oligocene rhinos and 'running' rhinos. -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbshark Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Awesome haul Gary! I too am pretty found of the sloth material but a nice point will make anyones day too! : ) Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyc Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Thanks y'all. I'm not sure if the point was associated or not. It was found not too far from all the other material. Rhino would definitely be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilized6s Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Great finds sir! Are these NSR finds? ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Kudos, Gary. It's good to see some of the less common material. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
