FossilFreak Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 This is my first trip report in quite a while. I probably need to go back and do some others to catch-up on some other neat finds. My son and I went to Gainesville yesterday with Wild Kyle. We had a great time, and productive day. I found a nice dolphin vertebra in someone’s spoil pile and my son actually dropped a posterior meg in the spoil for the next person. (I realized it was missing when we were taking a wrap up photo, and I went back and found it.) I was really excited to find the ray plate. The condition was not great, but i love finding these things fused. Kyle pointed out a croc scute in my screen that I definitely would have missed and he found part of a dugong skull cap. The nicest meg had a small crack, which broke on the way home, so I had to do a repair. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Very nice pieces. I rather like the fused ray tooth plates too. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Kyle showed you two a great time--a trip your son will likely not forget. Did Duckman make an appearance? Glad to see you all had a fun time and brought back some really nice fossils. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
