Southern Exposure

Summer seems to speed by until you hear that your fossil hunt date at the PCS Phosphate Mine has been announced. Well the weekend arrived for the hunt and I joined T$ and Ditchweezil for a more economically sensible trip.

We arrived at the pit juiced with copious amounts of greasy biscuits and caffeine in some form. Once again the collecting area was sizable, and the previous day’s rain was sure to provide a fossil bounty. I headed into the pit and collected some older areas scoring a monster hemi and a large modern tiger. I did pretty well there, but wanted to try my luck in some new areas. Being a bit far back, the footprints became less frequent. I found a nice patho (broken) meg with two tips that got my mojo risin’. I walked around and looked closely but in some ironic twist the next tooth I found was a sweet little heart shaped meg on a pedastal!!

The day was hotter than catfish in a coffee cup so I had to take a break. I found some Pungo to slow down but keep collecting. I found a decent little chub and a heartbreaker meg. I felt that gravy mode coming on (the light kind, like milk gravy). It was nearing time to leave so I thought I would walk over some J. City and wouldn’t ya know it I bagged a nice Great White. Now I was in (sausage) heavy gravy mode!!

Well, the day ended with the showing of finds and some great finds came out. Thanks again to PCS for allowing us to collect. Y’all come back now……….
