Hey Everyone. Little rain caused a need for me and Dudette to got to the NSR. Had a great day with Sis looking for anything that looks cool. Found some neat stuff. Thanks for watching!
I haven't been there in 10 years. Last time there were footprints everywhere and I said heck with this and decided to just focus around D-FW and west for fossil treasures. Thankfully the Dallas paleo/rock clubers don't go very far west.
Hey Lance. We haven't been there in awhile. I wouldn't go back but have tonfind one of those small ammos for my collection. Also together verts for then trades for ammos overseas. It is in very sad shape right now.
I've been so many times I've lost count. The ground is grey and the fossils are black. Easy finds. There is also a red layer that undulates the sides of the chasm. That's the layer the fossils come out of. Don't be down there when rain is in the forecast. Really. Otherwise it's a blast if you know how to find things.
Thanks David. Construction is expected to be complete by mid to late 2025. It will start filling before that. Even now all the good material is being hung up by two crossover bridges. They are for the construction trucks. Worst part is there is another damn planned east of this one. NSR as we know it will be gone.
East of there. We went down close to the old park. There is trail that you can use for easy access. Had a lot of weeds but it is there. Thanks for watching!
Do you find any arrowheads or other ancient Native American artifacts there in the NSR ? I live in Fouke Arkansas near the southern end of Sulphur river close to where it dumps in to Red river. Cool video 👍
Hi Jeff. Some people find a lot of points. In all my travels in the river basin I have found one compete point. Really cool semi lucent golodrina. Within 30 yards I found a 4 in piece of quartz, not native to this area, and what some Native Americans identified as a Star Pendant. There's a couple of videos where I find these. Thanks for watching. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g_XcfKdW-tI.html
Yea, that's the temporary park. They have that cross over dam that is causing all that mud. There is a way down away from the mud if you are fairly mobile. If not best to tray another bridge east of there.
Sorry for the late response. This didn't show on my phone. Construction ends in 2026 of the dam. Not sure of the date when they will start filling it. So there is still time! Thanks fore watching.
They are. Problem is the dam is cutting off a big chunk of the area that the prime fossils come from. New park will not have the quality of fossils NSR is known for.
@@northtexasfossildude Little do they think this may hurt the tourism for the area quite a bit. However, I'm anything but shocked given how shortsighted many people can be. What a sad day that will be.
