Moss Creek Field Trip

Come join the DPS and DGS for a fossil hunt at Moss Creek Saturday, April 12, 2025! Moss Creek is a tributary of the North Sulphur River, a well-known fossil collecting area in North Texas. Campanian aged shark teeth are abundant at this private site, only accessible through the field trip. Participants will be able to find numerous species (over 20!) by collecting and screening sediment, or by picking teeth on the surface. DGS is partnering with the Dallas Paleontological Society for this trip, so you will have the expertise of paleontologists right beside you! This trip is on private land and participants will be required to sign a Hold Harmless Agreement. Field trip participants will meet in Ladonia before heading to the field trip site. Drive time from Dallas is roughly  1-1 ½ hours. Please contact Sean Kincade at skincade@huntoil.com or 214-354-2028 with any questions.
