Some Finds From Today


Ramo

Recommended Posts

Yes, I am still around. I've been very busy and just checking posts on my wife's computer lately (Lurking). The wife and I got out for a little hunt today at a couple of new spots and found a few nice shark teeth, a broken up coprolite, some fish verts, and a beaten up mosasaur tooth, but any mosasaur tooth is noteworthy in my book! Enjoy the pictures.

Good to hear from you again! Like you said, any mosasaur is a good mosasaur! Is that a big squalicorax leaning on the quarter in the 2nd pix? Kind of odd looking....

That is a big Squalicorax. I don't think I have ever found one with that coloration. All of this came from a newly found Codell Sandstone exposure. (Except the ptychodus that came from a Greenhorn Limestone exposure) It usually isn't warm enough in December to hunt, but it was 50+ degrees yesterday. Today the wind is out of the north about 30 mph and it's cold. Supposed to get down to 14 tonight. (I believe that will put the wind-chill at about Absolute Zero) Probably the last hunt of the year!!

One of these days I'll drive out to Kansas.. It seems like it would be close to fossil in Kansas but man that is really one heck of a drive.

Grats on your finds...
