Major Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Tried to find Hogtown in Gainesville, went to the very northern part by some apartments, and found nothing but muck and mosquitos. So, I went on down a little, down a gravel road that said it ended (it really didn't), found a tributary to hogtown and was practically covered in mosquitos till my dad got me some 'Off'. Once I sprayed it around me and on me, killing everything in sight including one that was still in the midst of blood-sucking, I began sifting through the MOVING (much better) water and was able to find many, many ray teeth, some shark teeth (lemons), a bunch of random unidentified fossils, a clam shell and interesting snail shell, and what I thought at the time to be a fossilized vertebra, but now much doubt it. Will be posting pictures when I can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 You sure that scallop isn't fossil? I like the big/little pic choice; the big (which I can open readily, having DSL), allows me to click/zoom for closeups, and the reduced pics allow slower connections to open them also.

Didn't figure it was, could always test it I suppose; That's exactly the point, I wanted it that way so that anyone could say something like... hey! that's a ______! You know? So, if you know one or more is a ________ or ________, feel free to let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peacefossil Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 nice. yeah the creeks can get a little crazy with skeeters.
