Fossils of Texas
A Journey
Gore Area Quarry
Gore, OK March 21st, 2009
This area is Marrowan Series, Sausbee Formation, Lower Pennsylvanian, Fossil material that can be found includes blastoids, brachiopods, abundent byrozoan, shark teeth, coral goniatites, crinoid material, trilobites Ditomopyge and occasional plant material.
I found blastoids which was my target fossil, coral, and brachs. There was a deltodus tooth found by Cathy.
Pics of the hunt below...
