makoken Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thought I was going to make a quick trip to check out the Brazos river site near Austin. It turned out to be a 2hr drive. I didn't leave until 2:30 so it only left about an hour to dig. The hillside was aready in the shade making it a little difficult to see. I did find one small shark tooth, a ray plate piece, a small piece of coral plus the shells. Not a bad first trip! Oh yea, no squid beak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverphoenix Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Looks like you found Whiskey Bridge And perhaps my conus grove too lol You had a great first trip! It took me many trips before I found my first shark tooth and I still have yet to find a ray plate. The cochlespiropsis engonata is hard to come across as well. Nice conus shells by the way. Can't wait to dig with ya and see what you find! If you found that much and that kind of stuff in an hr, it'll be extremely interesting to see what you pull out in a whole day! Nautiloid here we come!!! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeD Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yep, that's Whiskey Bridge. One of your Conus still has the outer edge of the opening intact (don't know what that part is technically called). Those break off easily and are very fragile, so store it in some good padding. Yours appears to be in excellent shape. Good finds for a first trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
