Conlinoceras gold mine-new spot in DALLAS county
Shaun-DFW Fossils posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I located a potential spot (a creek tributary) that I never gave a chance literally a few feet away from a spot I’ve hunted before. I stopped by after a work meeting today and I was NOT disappointed (I know, I have fossil fever, no known cure). 9 conlinoceras tarrantense ammonites! One is about 6.6” across and in great shape. I assumed most in this area washed downstream from another location, but I found exposed formation with 1-2 smaller ammonites a few feet up the bank and 2 that were firmly fixed in matrix on the creek bottom, so I have an original source spot to add to my secret shopping list. I now have 13 of these in a week.. Dallas county TX (all of my prior finds were Tarrant county)- 19 replies

I haven't posted a trip report in a while and, although I didn't find anything amazing yesterday, I thought I would show what a decent day looks like for me. I would have loved to have hunted for a few more hours, but health problems limit what I can do. I don't find many I. retroflexus, so this was nice. It has a really pretty sheen. I like posterior angustidens, but I always find them missing a bit. All of the day's angustidens were broken. I don't find a ton of odontocete teeth, so I enjoy finding them (I think that's what the 3rd one is): And then just the usual miscellaneous (verts, ray parts, steinkerns, etc.): And, of course, other shark and barracuda teeth. Some are in good shape (1st pic), but there are always a ton that aren't (2nd pic): Other than that, there are some random unidentifiable bones and bits that aren't worth showing (including a possible root of an odontocete tooth with no crown at all). So, there is a decent day for me. No cow sharks, no mammoth or sloth teeth, but I got to enjoy nature and pick up a few fossils. Thanks for reading!

I would love to meet new people with same interest and compassion for finding a decent meg! Not interested in stealing someone’s hot spot. Interested in meeting someone with similar interest and learning more about fossils, teeth, and the history behind them.- 1 reply
