Xiphactinus Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 You all can't imagine how excited I am. Since I lost my job last spring, there were no fossil hunting trips for me. I haven't been seriously fossil hunting in a year and a half...the longest stretch of non-fossil hunting in since I was 7. (I'm 43 now.) Not getting in the field has been good for prepping, but man, I need to find something new!! That being said, now being gainfully employed, the family is heading to the Kansas chalk in about 48 hours! Think mosasaur.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Congrats on the job and good luck on the hunt! What strength of fishing line do you use for Mosasaur? It's got to be stronger than what you used for the Xaphactinus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got to be stronger than what you used for the Xaphactinus. I'll be trolling for Mosasaur with "whatever it takes" line....hopefully pickax, shovel, rockhammer....

JohnJ Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Let's see...16/3 x 8 + 14...7...3 carry the 9...times 4.... I think you are looking for a 12 foot Clidastes to fit nicely in the X-fish room. Keep your hammers crossed (mostly keep your eyes open; it works better than the hammer thing). The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I guess you know what you might be getting into, so good luck!

Ramo Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Good luck, They have had a lot of rain lately, so hopefully you will find something great. If you need some help getting something out, give me a call. I should be back in the state and may be able to come out to help. PS I just sent you a PM Ramo For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
