Houstonian's take on the North Sulphur River

Recommended Posts

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.

No shark teeth? The first picture is a shark tooth.

Looks like some nice finds for Y'all.

No, but it looks like a ptychodus to Me.

Better pictures from multiple angles could make it easier to tell, one way or the other.

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

It's a gastropod. No ptychodus at NSR

My bad, but it does not look like a snail to Me.

Would still like to see more pictures of it.

Nice finds, always fun to get out with group of folks who love the hunt :fistbump:

Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!

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....

But why is it in such a dark sediment that looks like bone fragments. But oh well

Sometimes certain minerals will coalesce within an area of another type of rock.
