rcranch Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Great find, I am surprised there was not more water flowing in the river and creeks at that time. We had some major rains a few weeks ago but I guess the NSR drains pretty quickly. Should be a lot of material stirred up out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First one I have seen come out of that material. Great coloration and yeah give it a good shot to see if more is in the immediate area. I have found pty material twice, once in the woodbine and once in the Eagleford. Both were solitary finds. Both only partial metacarpals. Never found any associated anything with either. Both over 30 years ago and both went to the Dallas Museum of Natural History. I noticed yours is in 3D. Not crushed what a great set of circumstances it had to be for that preservation. My Woodbine was 3D but the Eagleford find was crushed flat! On 3/13/2018 at 3:34 AM, bone2stone said: Congratulations....The pterosaur specimen was worth the whole trip.

sixgill pete Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I agree with what @Auspex said about the lack of wear on the bone. And, that a full search of that area may be worthwhile. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty remote so not much traffic there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
