Cachersusie Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Today my husband and I took our first trip to the North Sulphur River at Ladonia, TX. We were able to search for a few hours before the heavy rain moved in. Here are some of the finds that stood out the most to us. We are newbies and would appreciate any help identifying what we have. I will be posting several pictures in this thread. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cachersusie Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 I'm not sure what these are but my husband picked them out of the side of the bank in an area that is like the clay in this pic with the waterfall but about 20 feet away from the waterfall and just above the red clay line.

Cachersusie Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 I'm not sure if this is a chert flake or maybe a preform or it could just be wishful thinking too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear that in this cropped picture are cephalopod suture lines. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Captcrunch227 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 If you haven't already join up on the Dallas paleontological society Facebook page. A lot of NSR experts there. Several good id's so far. Bacculite is nice and I concur with the above post that the thin pieces look like they might be rib. You're brave to venture down in there with all this rain, that sucker fills up quick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be fossilized as they are very heavy and make the ting sound that I've seen people talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
