River fossil hunting adventure: rare plesiosaur bone discovery and retrieval

River treasure!

A while back I stumbled across this large bone in a Cretaceous area. I suspected it was the limb bone of a plesiosaur or mosasaur but it was way too heavy to carry back. I had the idea of waiting for the river level to rise after some rain and to use my boat to float it down river.

Last week we had some heavy rains and I thought it was time to go and retrieve the fossil!
