Oh-Man Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I got a little help from the forum, but when it's the right help that's all you need! Thanks Rob - the extended Charleston area sure was interesting and fun!!! To back up a little, the forum helped put me in contact with some folks that were willing to offer some guidance on hunting in the Charleston area. Ended up in a creek area doing some sifting for a couple of hours. It was 26 degrees the night before so luckily some wading boots were handy. I could have spent all day there I'm sure, but really didn't need to. I brought back a plate full of teeth and a couple of pounds of gravel. My kids started on the gravel once I got back to Texas and pulled out another 40 teeth so far, with more to go. Pix are attached although a bit fuzzy - sorry folks - maybe I'll get a camera for Christmas! What is geology? "Rocks for Jocks!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haizahnjager Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Oh-man! Those are some nice teeth! Seriously, I had a great time meeting you and swapping fossil info. Once again, thanks for the Texas material. I believe I got a Cretaceous thresher from the clay. Whenever you come back to the Charleston area, my door is always open. Have you been able to identify most of the S.C. material yet? -Rob C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I t is hollow, but I was wonderering, does that mean bird or could the marrow just be gone ? Thin-walled and hollow = bird (or some therapod dinos).

Oh-Man Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Thin-walled and hollow = bird (or some therapod dinos). Well these ones would not be dino bones, but none were hollow anyway... What is geology? "Rocks for Jocks!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
