Darktooth Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 This past Saturday I only had time for a quick hunt due to things that needed to get done around the house. Also it was raining and I had the boys with me. I almost wasn't going to go but the siren song of sweet treasures were calling me, beckoning me to come and find them. I decided to hit up both Briggs road and Deep Springs. I hunted both sites in under an hour and a half. I didn't find much and was mostly surface collecting. The boys found a few things. I did manage to find a my first decent size Dipleura cephalon from Briggs. The past few hunts there I have been finding more and more Dipleura kibbles -n- bits. It is raising my hopes of finding a complete one there. When I got to Deep Springs it looked almost exactly as it was when I left there from the TFF group hunt. It looks like an asteroid hit it! There are plenty off slabs and hash plates laying everywhere. I found a decent Dipleura cephalon from here too, that I think I will try prepping. There wasnt anything else that I really wanted to bring home so I was getting ready to leave but decided to take one last look. It seems that everytime I do this here I find a greenops. Sure enough, I spot one just lying on top of the debris. I really can't believe I spotted it. Even though it was a short hunt and nothing spectacular was found it was nice to be out there. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 It's always nice to get away to the quiet of fossil-hunting, and if you manage to find something along the way (as you have), then what more could you ask for? Good luck on the prepping of the Dipleura cephalon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 A quick hunt is better than no hunt! Especially when there are trilos involved, doesn’t happen much down here! “...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...
