So a couple of weeks ago, I, along with my younger brother, decided to embark on our first field trip with the Dallas Paleontological Society. The destination was Moss Creek, a decently sized waterway on private property that feeds into the NSR. Just like in the main river, we were seeking a red layer exposure of the Ozan Fm (though I read that this red layer is different from the one at the river). This site is famous for its abundance of marine microfossils, namely shark/fish teeth. One of the people on the trip was a researcher (Shawn Hamm) who is currently finishing up a paper on this very

Squeezing Water From Stone. A Summary of My July/August Trips Across Cretaceous Texas!

With time running out before the start of the school year, I decided to spread my attention across three DFW formations to get a little taste of what each has to offer.

In order from oldest to youngest: Goodland This adventure took place in Oliver Creek with the Dallas Paleo Society. It's a regular s -

The Dallas Paleo Society just had their annual field trip to the great Finis shale exposure at Lake Jacksboro. Roz and I went and I recognized DPS regulars BobWill, PollyM, JohnC, MarkM, and a few fairly new people. The group was about 15 adults and several kids but most everyone left pretty early except us and 2 others. I found 5 shark teeth (3 types) in various levels of complete-ness (typical) and a few really good invertebrate shells. This gorgeous large "Worthenia" was the first thing I spotted: brachiopod: "Conularia": "Brachycycloceras" (not the current name): "Petalo
