We were here 6 years ago and found MANY more fossils than this time. Wonder if we are just getting down to "slim-pickins'" or if we were looking in all the wrong places. Good luck! As a teacher, and certified "science nerd" this was an excellent spring break retreat, nonetheless.

I haven't been able to travel to the river lately or up to Frankstown, so I've been searching for some local places to hunt. Are there any outcrops/nice road cuts around the starkville/columbus area that anyone knows of to find cretaceous fossils?

The same rule applies here as it does when you're at a fee-dig mine. The more material you move, the more you'll find. Here is the key to moving more material. Build a sifter from PVC pipe with hardware cloth zip-tied to it. Also, run a line about 3' long tied to the sifter with a carabiner at the other end hooked to a belt loop. You'll be suprised at how well this works when you're in waist deep water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090178386836922414.post-17464054075291158762011-08-04T21:03:17.841-07:002011-08-04T21:03:17.841-07:00Hello,Argon!

He likes sharks and dinosaurs, and I would like to arrange someone to take them to Frankstown,Ms. to hunt for shark teeth fossils as my present to him. My daughter thinks that he would REALLY like this. As payment I would give a signed poster-sized print of any of her art of your choosing.This regularly sells for $150. Go to www.deviantart.com and type in Leashe in the search box to view some of her Pokemon art.Please call me at 901-282-9979.I am 50 years of age and not a computer aficionado.

Because of my experience, I find 30-40 sharks teeth every time I go. I usually hunt for 2 or 3 hours. I've never taken anyone except my daughter of 9 years old. If someone were to pay me I might take them to my honey hole with my special sifter and guarantee them 30 to 50 sharks teeth. I've never considered taking anyone and charging them but i'm self employed and business is slow and gas is killing me. The season is now, in 2 months the water will be too low and algea will take over everything in the water. My number is 662-523-2432.Lennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300209837158863744noreply@blogger.com
