Rough seas and a Giant Sloth




 The seas were rough with a lot of sand thrown up. It covers the clay where I look for bones and artifacts. Fortunately I found a nice fossil Giant sloth rib. The identification is not conclusive but the only possibilities are giant sloth and mammoth. It is the right size and feel for sloth so I think that is the likeliest species. I have also found two other pieces over the past week. 

We failed miserably at fishing because of the strong rip tide but we did manage to net a few mullet which we will use for bait tomorrow. We have been using frozen shad and mullet over the past couple of weeks because the cold weather have kept the mullet deep.

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.
