Ancient horse

 This was a nice end to an otherwise cold and dreary day. It appears to be a heavily mineralized distal end of a horse astragalus. I am always thrilled to find pieces of fossilized horse. This is my 3rd horse find on Mcfaddin Beach and interesting enough the horse and giant sloth have been my only fossilized finds over my 3 weeks of walking this beach.

Gusty winds

  I woke up at 2:30 am and am thinking about what the beaches are going to look like today. Hoping that the waves and tides will bring in some fossils. The winds have been very gusty and the weather unusually cold during the past several months of my stay in Texas. This has really hampered my ability to get out and find goofossils.

Crab Boil!

 We had a bit of a party with red drum on the half shell and fresh caught blue crab. A little Whistle Pig and an Acid 50 ring cigar to top it off. Hadn’t had an evening with good friends like that in 10 yrs.

Ancient Human Remains.

 We find ancient human rains several times during a season of hunting. The sheriff is called and they stop by to pick them up. Them the remains are turned over to an authority who repatriate them to a local tribe.
