Details:
From http://cashandtreasures.wikifoundry.com/page/Texas, "General description: The Sulfur River exposes Cretaceous Age marine fossils (Shells, shark teeth, and even mosasaur fossils), plus petrified wood.
Handy to bring along:
1. Digging Tools - small shovel, hank pick2. Buckets or rock bag
Your luck is dependent upon the river. If the water is to high, you are
out of luck. The pickings are best after the water recedes from heavy
rains, of which have eroded the banks.

Directions: From the wiki site: "The town of Ladonia, Texas offers a park next to the river to access the river bed. (More Texas hospitality.) Ladonia is on HWY 50 north east of Dallas. There are a number of bridges that cross the river. I have searched below HWY 24 south of Paris and collected fossils."
