CreekCrawler Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Awesome love the variety. That place is fossil heaven for me.The creeks around here are full of trash and the Sulphur makes a nice escape from the city trash. Nice trachyscaphites , I'd really like to find a complete one.

The really neat thing about that river is that you really can't see it from afar. It kind of sneaks up on as you get right on top of it.The rains lately have redistributed huge loads of pea sized gravel bars completely away. I think I'll start taking pictures at a certain point every time I go there,then I could reference the photos to see where the gravel bars have been redistributed to. I hope you and TJ make it up there sometime in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you and TJ make it up there sometime in the future. i read a study about that river and how it was straightened back when and how much erosion and sediment load it carried now. the fissile nature of the shale just doesn't work with a straightened, steeper, faster-running river. it's kinda like a fluvial black hole that i'm afraid at some point will reach critical mass and just suddenly erode the entire world. omg, i think the hackers invaded my brain! <rolling around on the floored, kicking and screaming in albanian> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootgirl Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hey, gotta love the Sulphur! Good finds.

NSRaddict_1 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Nice finds ! We are going Monday , will post up what we run across . Yeah 4 hour drive for us , but it is usually worth it when we find a fossil or 2 . We walk some 5 to 6 miles every time we go . Hunting fossils is fun , but discovering is better !
