Mosasaur Vertebrae From North Sulphur River And A Fish. (02/05/2012)

[kknight]

We had to walk up the water infested river for 1.6 miles, but it was worth it when I found this.

Very nice finds!

[Bullsnake]

Awesome! Congratulations!

Beautiful finds, Kevin. Articulated mosasaur vertebrae are found less often in Texas than Kansas.

Awsome verts, would for sure work back upstream and look for more. The verts haven't been exposed very long, very nice photo's---Tom

Thanks, I actually found the fish vert inbetween the concrete slabs as I was heading back out. It was a pleasant surprise at the last minute.

This is a beautiful piece of vertebrae. Really, really nice find. You've got to love when a find like this makes a trek up river worth while!

Wow, what a beauty of a specimen. Lucky guy.

[Texas Fossil Hound]

Quite nice! How was the water level? It was still pretty deep last weekend.

[Scipio]

Very nice find!

[feeshy1]

That is awesome....

Again, great photography. The pieces just seem to hang there and the detail is great. Oh yeah, very nice verts too!

[Uncle Siphuncle]

trip makers!

Thanks. The water was 2-4 feet and very muddy. It was lowering quickly so it should be great in a few days. It was hard work, but well worth it.

Now that's nice.

[Xiphactinus]

Beautiful!!!! Congrats on a killer find.

[Auspex]

The Mos. vert specimen is a showpiece!

[Boneman007]

That's a shark vert, by the way.

And a mighty fine one as well.

Go find the rest of that mosasaur. Its at the surface somewhere upstream...

There's a couple in the DPS that found most of a HUGE Tylosaur by finding that first couple of vertebrae!

Now they have a 6 ft. skull to look at every day!

I'll think I will do that this weekend.

[feeshy1]

U weren't Lyin KK... Def a lot of work here to get through.... Lot of it is covered with mud so good luck... Definitely a workout!

[kknight]

The 20-30 pounds of pet wood and way more water on my back then I needed made it even harder.

[Rosco]

AWESOME specimen :greenwnvy:

[LanceH]

Sweet verts Kevin!

Wow it's so three dimensional, as if the creature just died recently.

You must have gone east from 2990 bridge right?
