Directions:
North Sulphur River: Ladonia Fossil Park off 34N.
Geological Time:
Cretaceous Period
Formation:
Ozan through Pecan Gap Formations
What you can find :
wide assemblage of cretaceous marine: mosasaur, plesiosaur, fish, ammonites, bacculites, shark remains(vertebrae and teeth), Ischyriza Mira sawfish teeth, exogyra ponderosa oysters, Indian artifacts, Pleistocene vertebrates(mammoth and mastodon temains, and horse and others like glyptodon but those are much rarer)
What you need :
You need boots, screwdrivers, plenty of fluids and I mean plenty, and collecting equipment.
Dangers :
The North Sulphur is the most dangerous due to wild hogs (occasionally),snakes, poisonous insects, and most importantly flash flooding fills the river in minutes ,many fossil hunters almost got swept away, and beware of the heat( temp in river is 10 degrees higher than surface temp on hot summer).
