North Sulphur River, Fannin co., Tx
Feb. 24, 2008

Today Wes, Roz, and Me hunted a less accessible portion of the famous North Sulphur River.  Thanks Wes for driving and use of the walking sticks!
The dirt road into the drop in point looked potentially too muddy to pass without sliding or getting buried so we decided to "improve" the worst area with some tree limbs and whatever we could find.  We had no problem crossing the worst area.

Wes was the first to find a large Mosasaur vertebra.  
 
Roz finds a great baculites section.
   
After a while of finding bit and pieces of various things Wes mentions something about Plesiosaur vs. Pliosaur.  Within a couple minutes of this discussion Roz almost trips over a large Plesiosaur vert!  A rare find.
