I was on private cattle land, and was merely hunting shark teeth so I didn't have any tools, but I was able to dig out the head and 4 vertebrae.  Looking back I should have called the experts and had them extract it whole, using plaster, etc......but alas.  I donated it to the Dallas Museum of Natural History (claiming that I found it in my Grandad's garage, of course), where they rotate it out for view on occasion. The rest of the body is still out there, if anyone wants to brave the bulls and buckshot...........   (in reply to BOTLDGR03) Post #: 45

How did you do on those trees? Any champs? I've been getting skunked lately as far as finding bottles and might go shark tooth hunting on my next day off. If you get a chance, check out some of my bottles I have listed on ebay. botldgr03 (case sensitive) on ebay. Check out my completed also. Wish I had one of those true Augusteiner's.

We really didn't find a whole lot as far as quantity, but we did find some quality skate's (ptycodus) specimens, a vertebra, and a few nice shark's teeth. It was just too hot to do any bottle digging today. Robert Attachment (1) _____________________________ Have faith and patience and you will find what you've been looking for. R.C.
