Fossils of Texas
A Journey
Today I originally went to scout another area and on my way back, headed a different direction and found a small creek loaded with heart urchins, gastropods, both large and small, ammonite fragments, bi-valves and pectens.
Below is a piece of modern bone that looks almost tusk-like.

HUNTING LOCAL CREEKS
Ahbrum and I , headed out this morning to hunt a few sites near here.
This is a vide of Ahbrum working out an ammonite from the matrix.

The following pics will show the formations and some of the fossils found there.
This formation produces a lot of echinoids, bivalves, and ammonites. You can see the formation wall behind Abhrum.
Further up the creek
This is the second creek that we visited. Note the nice ammonite impression.
Here, Ahbrum has spotted the ammonite he wants.
