A fish is being carefully excavated from the side of this gully. It was found by accident, when the tooth part of an enchodus jaw found on top of the gully rolled down, and we were hunting for the broken off tooth.

Gully season is over for the year due to hunting season. On a prior trip, parts of a fossil were found, and James is hoping to find more small bones in the large bags of dirt he collected from the same area. We had so many fossils to collect, it was dark by the time we arrived at this gully.

This is where the baby crocodile bone and tiny scutes were found. James is flagging the highest point; there is a flag where every single fossil has been found. Afterwards, the entire area will be scoured on hands and knees for more bones and scutes.
