Ok..so far I’ve posted my turrilites and my woodbine ammonites, next will be these eopachydiscus ammonites and my oxytropidoceras, with echinoids and most (some are at the beauty shop) of my mortoniceras ammonites. these eopachydiscus ammonites represent at least a couple of different species from the looks of it, though I am not knowledgeable regarding scientific names, I just know they look different! LOL..no preparation has been applied other than soap/water and a little careful chiseling of matrix that I thought I could tackle. One of the big ones cracked in half due to it being my first big one to remove. I used Elmer’s glue and crushed limestone to fill the crack but I’ll likely soak it to get it out and replace it with an epoxy. Another one is cracked but never broke, I put super glue in the cracks just in case. Nice sutures on a few! 2 of the smaller eopachydiscus are 11-12 inches across, the biggest is around 17 inches, most are 14-15 inches.

I sold or donated most of my smaller oxytropidoceras but I kept a handful of 12-15 inch specimens that I found in Benbrook TX and far south along the Tarrant/Johnson county border. They’ve all been washed with soap and water but no other prep has yet occurred. Front/back pics included for most. I hear these take a lot of time to prep..looking forward to getting one cleaned up completely! One smaller one is very orange, it’s a tanning booth variant, and the other small one (not very obvious) is full of crystals..it’s the only one I’ve found full of crystals. It’s rough on the outside. Tempting to grind it down to reveal the inside. Not for now..big ones from kiamichi, smaller ones from tarrant(?) formation or whichever formation has all of the tiny echinoids and brachiopods all over. Pardon my ignorance. I’ll edit once confirmed.

Im not sure this is in the right place, but here goes. First I want to wish everyone a very merry Xmas, a happy holidays or what ever suits your fancy. I had ordered a very large ammonite from madagascar quite awhile ago, but being that we lost a family member I didnt have it in me to post anything. Life throws some purty big curve balls and I will never get past this one but still trying to make a good christmas. The big ammo on the bottom left is a 65 lbs Monster! Got a few others there too but have had those for quite awhile. The big Placenticeras is one my youngest son gave me. A few more of these big rocks and I wont be able to get to the wood stove?! Everybody be good and stay out of trouble. RB
