In June of 2018, Kieth Minor alerted me to a new apartment complex that was being developed in the middle Atco Formation of North Texas. They were cutting a huge cubic area of rock out of a hillside, piling up multiple large mounds of Atco which seemed to be begging for someone to carefully search out their freshly exposed contents. On the 15th of that month we got to the site, Kieth asked permission of the site foreman for us to carefully take a look around during the crew's work hours, and we made our way into the pit. We were on a mission to save as many ammonites as we could. FIG 1: First impressions.

Hello everyone, I went fossiling today, April 14th. I got to Ramanessin Brook around 9:00 AM and ended at about 2:45 PM. The day began slowly, with me haphazardly choosing places to sift. From all the boot prints on the ground it was apparent that many people had gone surface scanning a few days before. I did find one or two teeth on the surface in the middle of the gravel bar, they must have missed them. While I was hunting there was a caravan of senior citizens hiking on one of the trails. They thought I was panning for gold but when I showed them the finds they were stunned. Some of them had never seen sharks' teeth before which seemed odd. One woman with a very heavy German accent was particularly interested and I was happy to give her some of my finds. After that interaction I went back to hunting. With the finds beginning to dwindle in the area I was searching, I moved on. Not much was had further upstream unfortunately. A few minutes later I cut my finger on a stray wire from my breaking sifter and then hiked back to my dad, who was sleeping in his hammock, about a mile or so away. The day was pretty good, my best finds being a Xiphactinus sp. and Ratfish jaw section. Bone, Vertebrae, and one (or two) Xiphactinus Teeth Ghost Shrimp Parts, Sawfish Rostral Spines, Small Vert, Pychodont tooth, and Unidentified Mammal Tooth Ray Teeth
