Jakuzi Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Happy New Year y’all, Squeezed in a few days on the Sulphur over the last week. Went to a few of my favorite spots and checked out a new spot. All areas are fully accessible after the last few rises in water level. The gravel looks great due to the few light rains we’ve had since the big rains. Things seem to be back to normal out there as far as the amount of fossils to be found. I had a real hard time finding anything of significance after the last big 30+ft rise. Luckily things are looking a lot better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakuzi Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 This is definitely the prize of the bunch. I was pretty shocked to see it just laying there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izak_ Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Very cool finds, especially that red ammonite and mosasaur jaw Is that a piece of mastodon enamel down the bottom right on the second pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that string of verts, shark? Fish? hard to tell from the pic. Bear with me. I’m going to post a bunch of the other pics. This is a string of fish verts but I’m unsure if this would be an xfish or enchodus or somthing else. Maybe you can help with ID. At first I thought it was some type of metal trash due to the almost rusty color but quickly realized it was a string of verts after picking it up.

Thanks! It’s mammoth enamel though it is common to find mastodon enamel on the NSR. I found another chunk that I forgot to includ in the pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuzi Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 A large chunk of Ammonite that I thought was pretty awesome due to it’s size and detailed suture patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuzi Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 This was an especially HUGE find for me because it’s the most complete well preserved arrow head I’ve ever found. I’ve been searching creeks all over the south for this guy without much luck. I walked around looking at it for maybe 30 min before finally finding a safe spot for it in my pack.

Jakuzi Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 My buddy brought along a kayak on one of the days. The water is still high enough for this though I’m not sure it helped him much. There is still a lot of gravel still to be revealed as the water recedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Rick couldn’t believe it. Hopefully one day he finds something good out there. Anybody any ideas on what type of point that is? 4 hours ago, pamk7802 said: I would love to tag along sometime! Awesome finds! You’re welcome to tag along. Unfortunately I don’t get out as much as I like due to living in Memphis though if rain looks promising I have no problem driving down. PM info and shoot you a text next time I head out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
