danielp Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I found this and 2 others the same size and also some smaller ones yesterday evening around kingston oklahoma when me and my girlfriend went swimming. Anyone know what species this is? I put it on top of a cd to show its size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing that Macraster you found a trip up there is definitely in the future. Segmented bug huh? Sounds interesting!

Roz Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I just bought an inflatable boat (really a glorified raft). Looking forward to the maiden voyage. Lots more access to new hunting spots to try. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreekCrawler Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I just bought an inflatable boat (really a glorified raft).Looking forward to the maiden voyage. Lots more access to new hunting spots to try. I've been eying canoes/kayaks for a while now.Man are they expensive!What type of inflatable did you get?? I think that having some sort of boat is a must for fossil collectors. Kinda like "don't leave home without it". That is of course if you have rivers and creeks in your area. Does yours have some sort of plywood or rigid bottom? I'm pretty rough with stuff,so I think for me a High Density Polyethylene craft would be the way to go.There are plenty of untapped fossil resources just waiting to be tapped into with such a craft. The NSR and SSR are cases in point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NSR and SSR are cases in point! I bought a Sevylor (4 person boat) for 38.00 Yeah they are cheap and will soon find out how well made. I read a lot online and saw a lot of comments that 4 person boats really fit 2 in comfort. I also got collapsible paddles which are really light weight. Also a foot pump cause so many places won't have electricity for the other one. I gave thought to a kayak too but read many complaints online that for some reason they were very hard to paddle straight. Keep going in circles. There was one I saw online somewhere that had 3 separate tubes but they were sold out. I think it was under 40 too. Here is a pic closest to the one I bought.
