A few of my best finds from this past month
Dallas County, Texas, USA |
|
|
|
I havent had a chance to post in a while. I have been hunting here and there finding the normal stuff plus a few extras. I found my biggest Ptychodus a few weeks back, it is 3/4 in wide, then starts the craziness. I found a pretty small fossil pearl one day, then I stopped back at the same spot the next day to look for more, ended up with a Mosasaur tooth, then today I went to my fav spot and found another pearl still in the matrix. I havent found a ton of... |

The past month or so we have been pounded with heavy rain storms and we all know what that means.... I have 2 spots I check for teeth after every rain storm. The first spot I stopped at just after one of those heavy rains and I didnt have my boots, but im greedy so I went for a walk in the mud with my good shoes on. It was worth it, because I found a couple nice Ptychodus teeth, and a Mossasaur tooth, but the tip was broke off

Quick Trip

I got about an hour of free time the other day and had to check a spot of mine. We have had a ton of rain in the past week, and I just knew something was there to find. I didnt find much, but I found one tooth that made my stop worth it. I believe its an Scapanorhynchus Raphiodon. I know alot of you have "the collectors guide to Fossil sharks....of Tx" Thats where I got my ID from. I found a few nice Ptychodus, and a nice whol... |

Old trip

This stuff is from a few different trips to two sites. I have been slipping up on the posts on here. My wife and I just recently had a baby boy, so I have been a bit busy. He will be in training soon!
Anyways, i didnt find anything great. A few nice Ptychodus teeth, and what would have been an awesome Cretoxyrhina mantelli. I was hunting in a spot that i have looked over many times, after it rains I hit it for the lef... |

This is a combo of a few trips. And this a bit old.
The first day I checked back in at this spot I was just wandering around hopeing to find at least something. This spot has been picked a lot and the machines have done their damage as well. After picking up a few pieces, I spot a monster, (here in Tx thats anything over an inch) It was perfect Cretoxyrhina Mantelli, only a tiny bit of blade damage.&nbs... |

After seeing DW and T$ out everyday picking up handfulls of teeth i had to get out there and find me somthing. The other afternoon I had some spare time so headed out in the heat to do some hunting. First spot I went was a neighborhood thats being built. Usally I can find at least 1 Ptychodus tooth there, but pickings were slim. As I started down one of the lot sites I started to spot teeth. After picking up a few teeth I looked back between my l... |

Kamp Ranch Pearl !
Dallas County, Texas, USA |
|
|
|
Well all my good spots for hunting teeth are pretty much gone for now, but there is one spot where they are still building houses and its always good for a look. I started over to a rock pile, that use to produce some nice teeth, just flipping over rocks and looking for anything when I look up and see a piece with something in it, I can't believe my eyes when I pick up a pearl. It was still mostly incased in the matrix but I could tell what it was, and it was kinda ... |

More ammonites
Dallas County, Texas, USA |
|
|
|
Yesturday after work I deceided to hit up a spot where I has stumbled across a piece of an pyritized ammonite. This spot was in dallas county(upper cretaceous). After all the rain we have been having I figured there had to be something. When I got there the sun was already dropping and I have to look fast, I started off finding a few beat up pieces, and my luck changed, I saw what looked like a coin, but it was a perfect small ammonite, just larger than a p... |

A Better day
Dallas County, Texas, USA |

After Loosing a fossil pearl in my front yard last night... I had to get my mind off that. As I leave my house to go hunting I hear the thunder and a few drops of rain hit me. I saw on the news the other night where someone in my town was struck out in his yard, but I went anyways. First spot had no luck with, and the second wasn't great either. The ditch I usally check, someone decided it would be a good idea to drive through it and tear it all up.&nb... |

Checking old spots
Dallas County, Texas, USA |
|
|
|
I went out after some rains last saturday to see if some old spots had been washed. I have one spot that usally produces some Ptychodus teeth so i decided to check it out. First thing i find was an awesome Cretolamna appendiculata just sitting on the top of a small pile. That made my day. I did end up finding 13 Ptychodus, most small and beat up. One P. Whipplei was still in the matrix and in perfect condition. ... |
