Shellseeker Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 It rained hard most of the morning, It is not a lot of fun with water pouring down your neck, Thankful for baseball caps. Fortunately there are rewards... 4 of the Megs were unbroken and small. Largest was 1.75 inches. Some big chunks.. Land tortoise or sea turtle? This is the biggest complete piece that I have found. Finally, a likely rib bone.. just wondering if the groove makes this one identifiable.. Thanks for suggestions Jack The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The finds look to be worth the weather, very nice indeed! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Beautiful finds. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm coming over Sat... LOL.... The size and texture of the rib look very much Proboscidean to me, nice bone "A man who asks is a fool for five minutes. A man who never asks is a fool for life".
