JohnJ Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Found this Wednesday in the Peace. I quite sure it is a Mammoth ulna. Attached a photo of it partially cleaned up I think I've got 95% of it. It was a good day. I forgot to take a photo of it before I started digging around it. only a small part was above the sand. WTG, hoffy!

Wrangellian Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 SPOT THE CRINOID Hint: It's mostly a negative of a Uintacrinus (U. Cret., Santonian) It's not quite in its original bedrock position - was left along an unpaved roadway by an abandoned golf course project - but you're seeing what I saw when I first spotted it last April.

Xiphactinus Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Wrangellian - very cool. Never heard of one of those being found outside of Kansas. Your scenery is MUCH more picturesque than hunting in Kansas!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hi, Just noticed this thread today(sometimes I think I walk around with blinders on). Great stuff. Here are some pics of my discovery of an Ichthyosaurus vertebra last spring in Geisingen. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

R0ckhamm3r Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) I have a tracking device installed on your vehicle. Nah, those are from about 3 years ago, it is a fun place to find, lots of scenic country, not flat, like most of Iowa. Here are a couple of pics of an interesting find while hunting in the Mid Cretaceous Boracho Formation in Texas, it's not a fossil, but it is noteworthy. It is a wild bee hive I ran across by accident. They didn't seem to mind being photographed, as long as I didn't get too close.

Ludwigia Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Very nice! I just found my first this past summer.. Exciting isn't it? Yes it was. I'd found a smaller one from the tail about a year earlier, but we estimate that the creature to which the big one belonged was at least 7 meters long. In both cases I checked out the near viscinity thoroughly, but couldn't find any more. These layers were probably deposited near to the coast in the breakwater, so the bits were probably washed in from the deeps. Yes jpc, it is schön. Here's how it looked after preparation.

Ludwigia Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 same, those are really nice! Unfortunately the ocean has since receded about 1000 miles to the south, so we barely get our feet wet any more here except when it rains. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Wrangellian Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Wrangellian - very cool. Never heard of one of those being found outside of Kansas. Your scenery is MUCH more picturesque than hunting in Kansas!! Yes we have them here, mainly at this one spot (I believe only a few bits have been found elsewhere on the Island). I seem to be the luckiest at finding them so far, but they're never complete and the shale is tough to work with, but this is the most complete so far.
