Unknown tooth, 2 tiny Pycnodontid teeth Upper Member, Glen Rose Formation, Trinity Group Albian (Lower Cretaceous) Blanco County, Texas The pycnodontid teeth are fairly common at this local. The longer tooth is quite different and I still do not have a solid ID© ERose 2021

Hello forum members! With the new Coronavirus raging across the world, I thought it would be nice to start some kind of advent calendar, using my own Squalicorax collection. Everyday I will post one or multiple Squalicorax teeth from one location. Let's see what ends sooner, my collection or the virus outbreak. I will start with the oldest tooth from the Albian substage and end with the teeth from the uppermost substage; the Maastrichtian. The first one is the oldest and also one of the smallest teeth in my collection. Unfortunately it is so sma

Heterosalenia sp. (genus ascertained by JohnJ) Bottom of Unit 2, Lower Member, Glen Rose Formation, Trinity Group Albian (Lower Cretaceous) These odd little Salenids were first noticed by JohnJ many years ago. I was lucky enough to find another slightly larger specimen. This one was hiding in my collection amongst some more common species. These are now being studied and properly described by an actual paleontologist!- 1 comment

Took me a little while to post this trip report, I'm always a busy person. This trip is from October 3rd, 2020 in Ellsworth County, Kansas at a reservoir. The predominant formation at the site I visited is Kiowa formation; which is known for marsh and delta environments in the early Cretaceous (Albian). I found some interesting things and I'll show below. Possibly some carbonized wood materials. Lignite or coal? It was flaky and would crumble if touched. It left some black powders on my hands after handling it. I found several large pieces of them together and partly encased in con

Characteristics of the family Pachytroctidae Head: Antennae usually have 15 segments. The first 4-5 segments of the antennae do not have sculpturing; other segments have ringed sculpturing (annulations). Eyes are relatively large, compared to related families. Legs: Tarsi have 3 segments. Hind legs are long and the femur is not flattened (as in Liposcelidae). Wings: Adults can be have full-length wings or short wings, or can be wingless. Full-length wings are held flat over back when at rest. Forewings are rounded. Forewing veins

Summer vacation fossil hunting week. Like each summer Natalie and I spend 1 week of our holiday for a fossil hunting trip. Usually the destination for this is the Isle of Wight, but due to the current covid situations we had to choose another location. So we went for 1 week to the French coast altering between late Cretaceous and Jurassic deposits.. Although there were no big tide or storms we still got our fair share of fossils in the boulders on the beaches and we even had a few spots of gault clay exposed where we found some nice phosphate ammonites and crustaceans.

Hello all I have had this ammonite for quite some time now, but since it has been tucked away in a drawer for the last couple of months. There is something weird about this piece however. The front looks pretty normal, except is a bit deformed. But on the back, it looks like the ammonite exploded. Hard to explain so I hope the pictures help. I've heard of exploded ammonites before so I wonder if this is one. Thanks all for your help

A few weeks back the Paleontological Society of Austin went out on one of our monthly field trips. The weather was still quite warm and we decided to keep it closer to home so no one would be to wrung out when we were done. We are hopefully at the tail end of a rather brutal drought with constant triple digit temps that started back in June. We picked three sites within 90 minutes of Austin that took us up thru the Glen Rose Formation, bottom to top. We started at a site in the Lower Member known as the micro zone. Fossils big enough to see from a standing position are few but if you get dow
