JarrodB Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Everyone said NSR was dry and picked over but I hiked 9 hrs and found some cool stuff. My favorites are the Protostega costal bone with partial rib head preserved, the mosasaur bone with bite mark and the artifacts. I walked in tracks all day but the river is too large for someone to get everything and people miss quite a bit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facehugger Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 You're like a NSR hero, dude. Anytime I go - if I find even half as much as you regularly do, I consider it a successful trip. And I drive 5 hours to get there!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes me two hours to get there so I try to hunt at least 7 or 8 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilNerd Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Nice! After 9 hours of hiking in the Texas heat you deserve to find something!

LOL - heck, if I have the time and resources, I sometimes grab a hotel room in Sulphur Springs and make a weekend of it...might as well enjoy it before it becomes a lake...

flyingpenut Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Great finds especially under suboptimal conditions. My finds even under the perfect conditions can’t compete. I’m beginning to think you have an evolutionary advantage in which your eyes are able to see fossil material similar to a thermal scope’s ability so see heat.
