. Thanks!

Man at the rate your going, you will have a room full of these fast! Very cool.

The MS river is the lowest I have ever seen it which makes finding stuff easier because all the dikes are exposed. We covered about ten miles on foot today in some pretty rough stuff. The corp of engineers placed and maintains rock dikes on the river that redivert flowing water away from the banks to prevent washing. The rock dikes catch alot of debris so you just have to walk the dikes and look under and all on them. The dikes are about a 1/4 mile long each consisting of small car to gravel. We started today at 5:15am and were done by noon. The rough walking on top of the 100 plus degree weather wears you out pretty quick. The river is on a slight rise but is schelduled to fall again. Every time is rains or rises and falls it uncovers something new.

do you plan on taking these to someone to get checked out ?

lowslowTJ · 07-08-2012, 06:34 PM

I know a little about mammal fossils. It looks like many of the smaller teeth you have are horse teeth.

^^^this is a horse or deer axis which is the second cervical or neck vertebra. it keys into the atlas that attaches to the head. Nice!

I think the big ass tooth is a tapier or big ass pig tooth.

pretty cool stuff. You could look for a natural history museum in your area and see if they have a paleontologist or display of fossils. They would probably be really excited to see what you've found and may be able to better identify it. You may even be able to email them these photos to ID them. I dunno.

Thanks for the info... We have a MS museum of natural science in Jackson that I'm bringing some of my collection to for identification soon. It will be neat to see what some of it actually is

Awesome finds. Wish I could find stuff like that around here.

It looks like a rattle but it's rock or fossilized

braceysdad · 07-14-2012, 01:56 PM

From this morning...

partial jaw

braceysdad · 07-14-2012, 01:58 PM

The rest...

bone fragments, rock full of fossils, and indian pottery peices

braceysdad · 07-15-2012, 06:08 PM

I had several bones identified by a paleontologist this weekend... My best/rarest find is the right tibia from a Jefferson giant sloth.

hende · 07-15-2012, 06:18 PM

sweet find

Hydro-Tank · 07-15-2012, 09:39 PM

Crap man. How are you finding that stuff? A fossil detector?

CRF450R · 07-16-2012, 07:55 AM

Nice finds BD, I love looking for this sort of stuff.

fla_cracker · 07-16-2012, 10:12 AM

My boys and I collect fossils down here in central and SW FL. I'm by no means an expert, barley an amateur actually. The last 4 pics in your first post are horse teeth and possibly Indian artifact. Bead or jewelery maybe.

The really long skinny bones in another post are ribs. One of your other pics looks to be maybe a mastadon tooth. The one your holding in your hand.

Great idea going to the Natural History Museum.

also don't forget to check with your state about the possible nessecity of a permit to collect.

Good Luck..

braceysdad · 07-17-2012, 07:17 PM

A couple from a 30min outing this afternoon...

neillarson · 07-17-2012, 07:20 PM

Nice

braceysdad · 07-17-2012, 07:23 PM

I'm as addicted to this as I was RC crawling a few years ago.

HARDKNOCKZ · 07-18-2012, 07:38 AM

NICE! I gotta admit...I've never really dug this kinda stuff (no pun intended) but this is some cool fossil swag ya got.

I think I'd be just like you & collecting everyday if I had a source close by. VERY cool man. Thanks for sharin.
