Twinlukers Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Well Hello everyone.. As promised here are some of the pictures of our finds with a group of about 25 at the Ladonia Fossil Park on the North Sulphur River. We had a great time searching thru the pebbles and edges of the cliffs. a couple of bone fragments were found but nothing major. We found several gastropods in some matrix and did some sifting at the gravel bars. We did find a broken arrow head but no shark teeth in the area. Here are some pictures of our finds. Enjoy as I do have some questions i'll ask on the ID Forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure about that? Looks like a Gastropod to me... anyway Nice Finds! “...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...

I guess it could be a ptychodus but as you say more Pictures are necessary. “...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...

jcbshark Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Nice finds, always fun to get out with group of folks who love the hunt 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...
Twinlukers Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Here are some closeup’s and I do not think it’s a Gastropoda. Because I have one that is units metrics and I don’t see the pattern of a Gastropoda.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I am of the opinion that it is a clam shell steinkern. Better pictures always help. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Twinlukers Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 But why is it in such a dark sediment that looks like bone fragments. But oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
