Swimming In Petalodus! PSoA Wilson Clay Pit Trip
EPIKLULSXDDDDD posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Yesterday, I embarked on my second journey with the Austin Paleo Society to a famous spot: The Wilson Clay Pit. It's the site of a former clay quarry that was used for the production of bricks. Though it is in private hands, the land owners are very kind and allow fossil hunters to collect a diverse range of Pennsylvanian fossils on their property. One of prize finds from the pit is the highly-coveted Petalodus tooth. Some of y'all may remember me wishing to find one on my last trip to the Brownwood area, only to realize we weren't at the right sites to find them. Well, if there was a place to- 21 replies

Deltodus Shark Tooth? PSoA Pennsylvanian Trip to Brownwood
EPIKLULSXDDDDD posted a topic in Fossil ID
So today I went on my first trip with the Paleontological Society of Austin to the Brownwood area to visit a couple of Paleozoic sites. It was a blast and just what I needed after a busy week. However, I'm not gonna go too far into the details because I plan on writing up a trip report soon. I think I found some pretty cool stuff . Instead, I'm writing this topic because I am simply too anxious to wait on hearing an answer to this question I have. Our first stop was along a roadcut that was situated within the Pennsylvanian Adams Branch Limestone (Canyon Group) and Strawn Group. O -
From Ohio, grew up in Brownwood Texas. I’m in town for the weekend and am looking for directions to Wilson’s Clay Pit and any other public locations to hunt fossils. Thanks!

Hello guys I am very new to all this and have found many arrowheads at my ranch in Brownwood Tx but this one stumped me. Please see pictures below of what I stumbled across and let me know what this is. It looks like it couldn’t be anything but a shark tooth?? If you know what it is or what it’s worth that would be a huge help!! Thanks so much

Hey everyone! I was planning on passing through Brownwood, Texas, which I know is definitely full of fossils if you know where to look. However, never having been there before, I do not know the best publicly available sites to hit. Would anyone happen to have any they could suggest? Thanks so much!

Texas Pennsylvanian Weekend - Trilo, Crinoids, Goniatites and More!
JamieLynn posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
The Paleontolocigal Society of Austin monthly field trip was last weekend - we planned to hit a couple of spots in Brownwood. Well it's a bit of a drive from San Marcos, so I decided to make a mini two day trip out of it and stay in an Air BNB (a great option for traveling these days - no shared air source like a hotel!) . So instead of just the two sites on Saturday with the Society, I headed up to Lake Jacksboro for some solo hunting! And boy was it solo.....not a SINGLE person at the site! I was astounded. Had the whole place to myself for HOURS! It was a beautiful day - 70s and sunny. I c- 24 replies

I have been contacted by the local historical museum which is looking for a prepared brownwoodensis urchin from the Lake Brownwood Spillway. Even though I live here I have never been able to successfully collect and prepare one of these. I told the local museum person I would try to help in the search for a suitable example. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a specimen?

Hi all, I recently made a trip out to Wilson Clay Pit in Brownwood, Texas with my local paleo society. I've found several recognizable things, and a few I need some help identifying. I apologize in advance to @erose who gave me an idea on one bivalve that I failed to write down, and thereafter promptly forgot! I think the tooth is Petalodus sp., just need confirmation. I'd love a genus for the clams, and I have no idea at all what the small plate-shaped fossil is. Thanks!

A co-worked of mine has a deer lease near Bangs, Tx (just west of Brownwood). He says the lease is full of very large rocks that have fossils embedded in them and while out this past weekend, he found this item. He sent me a photo knowing I love hunting fossils but this is way out of my knowledge base. I have never been out to the Brownwood area to hunt fossils but after hearing about what he's seen, it's definitely on my list of places to hit now. Based on what I've learned, it appears the lease sits in the Thirfty and Graham formations but I cant say that with 100% certainty

My dad, my brothers and my 6 year old nephew had all scheduled a trip out to the clay pits on April 23rd. I didn't know that DPS was going until a few weeks later. I was excited to meet them out there. We drove our typical route into the area, through Grosvenor, but when we came to Jim Ned Creek, we were in for a surprise! The water, which usually flows under the gravel road there was flowing about ten feet above it! It was incredible how much water was moving through there. So I grabbed my scuba gear.... Just kidding. We u-turned and headed back out to the Grosvenor highway. We had h
