OMG! Noids!

[wilkere]

Today friends it was off to Rocky Point with visions of these in my brain as I cruised down Hwy 17 in the July heat.




I pulled into the lot about 1230, and some girls from VA. Tech were just coming out of the pit, dog-tired and sweaty. "Didn't get much at all, and it's too hot"! They warned me as they hightailed it back to Ole Virginia. Me and Fred the Foreman swapped some Marine Corps stories, then he mentioned that very few fossil hunters have been coming by during the summer. And folks, he was right! I only saw one set of footprints and that was in the popular Kellum Zone.



Rocky Point has changed quite a bit from the springtime. First, the Northern hills which were old and weathered and where most of the Auriculitis's were found in the past is, well..... all gone. You can kiss your Ricky finds goodbye. Like Fred the Foreman said " There isn't many teeth coming from the southern edge of the mine". And he's right. There just ain't much of a chance in finding any big teeth on the south side. However, if your into Noids errr I mean Echnoids then you are in for a treat. At least I was cuz there hasn't been anyone through the area. Noids were plentiful, I only picked up perfect ones and the others I chucked at the birds. I follow that great fossil theologian Meg-Head's motto which is "Buddy! Just how many Noids do you really need? They're a girl fossil man!”




But hey, I did find some weird stuff, and as always weird stuff is good! Maybe I'll be enlightened on some of these ultra-rare finds and Bill Gates will contact me soon thereafter.

When I saw those big teeth the first thing I thought of was me out in the surf about chest deep reeling in a nice fish about 15 years ago. I turned around to show my ex the fish I caught and there was a large fin sticking out of the water between me and the shore. I held onto the fish in case I needed a decoy and got back to shore as fast as I could. Sorry about that, I just had to share that story, lol...

Very nice finds. I love hunting fossils. Thanks for sharing the story and pics with us.

Great finds!

I wish I could fossil hunt, but no way doing it here in Finland, because we don't have any fossils around here. The last ice age took everything who knows where! No dinosaur fossils found here EVER. Only occasional mammoth bones, but I think they are not even considered as fossils...

The only way for me to find fossils even once in my lifetime is to make a trip to the States or somewhere else where they are "easy" to find! 8)
