Camping, Kayaking and Fossil Hunting Adventures

 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.

 

 We began using these kayaks a few years ago but found that the intake will pick up gravel and debris in shallow water so we kept them for one summer and sold them. 

 

 This is one of the first ancient bison skeletons that my sons and I found. The bones were like potato chips. This we have discovered through the years is very common if the bones were not preserved in clay.

 Found my first fossilized or heavily mineralized horse teeth during a Long Beach walk today.

 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.
