Well it is not my first ever hunt in the Texas Cretaceous, but it is at least my first hunt since moving to Texas at the start of this month. This past Sunday I had the chance to journey to several sites that expose the Early Cretaceous Glen Rose Formation. Through some research on known sites and scanning Google Maps for other potential localities worth checking out, I came up with a list of about more than a dozen nooks and crannies in Central Texas worth exploring. Virtually every place I stopped showed potential, although I did not find echinoids at every site, but that also meant that I c

Found this little blade in the Lower Glen Rose Formation. Sadly, no root, so I am not even sure it's possible to ID. What has me questioning is the odd "extra layer" of growth on the tip..... Any thoughts? For a bit of reference I am including pics of the only other shark tooth I've found in the Glen Rose. It is a Protolamna and has distinct striations on the root. So I am pretty sure it's NOT that. 1/2 inch

I had collected some fossils from Spring Branch, Texas from what I think is the Glen Rose fm near Canyon Lake and I'm wondering what all these little discs are. For some reason I thought they were called foraminifera but in looking on-line, I think that's not accurate. I'm not sure where I heard that these are called foraminifera. Perhaps someone told me that or, more likely, I misremembered something I read somewhere. In looking at Uncle Siphuncle's very, very, very helpful (Thank you. It's a must read!) pinned Comprehensive Guide heading this forum, it seems these little discs are calle

GlenRose Formation 105 - 115 MYA Found near roadcut in San Antonio First I want to warn you, These are low quality photos due to it being night and having a dim light in translucent glass. So if you are unable to further identify due to poor quality photos, I understand wholeheartedly. Without further adieu, Here is the lot Below I will post individual photos in the comments. Firstly I'd like to state a few in which I think I know the answer. 1 I believe is a Neithea irregularis 2. I don't know if its a messed

Glen Rose Formation 105 - 115 MYA Found in Roadcut near north San Antonio I know its not great quality but from just this, is this an ammonite and if so, is it possible to narrow it to a species?

Hi all, this is my first post so please excuse any mistakes. I found this Specimen in the Canyon Lake area if Central Texas. I haven't tried to remove too much of the limestone until I knew more about what this might be.

Hello all! This is a little photo project I've been working on for a while. When I first started Fossil Hunting I was content to collect whatever. Then I was excited about Identifying what I was finding. The education continued and now I work to identify the geological formations I am collecting in and am able to know what fossils to look for in what areas. The Pocket Texas Geology website is invaluable for finding out the formation of a specific area (while not 100 percent accurate, it's pretty good). So I wanted to create a post that would help with Central Texas Cretaceous Fossil Identific

I found this in the same area where I found the Corbula plate. Found west of Austin, on Highway 290. It was partially still covered, in the side of the road cut, when I slowly wiped away the matrix. Couldn’t believe the length. Immediately stopped collecting and took it to the car for safe keeping. It is not the shell itself but a mold of the shell. Always wondered on the identification. Can someone help me? Thank you in advance.

Echies of Texas (A Few Good Things from the Glen Rose Form.)
JamieLynn posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Central Texas has been experiencing a surprisingly cool September plus quite a bit of rain! And that equals some great fossil hunting! I have gone to a few old spots and a few new spots! All in the Cretaceous Glen Rose. I am just constantly amazed at the amount of fauna in the Glen Rose. It seems like I find something new just about every time I go out! I was happy to find a new species of echinoid - a Goniopygus sp. ( very different from the previous Goniopygus I've found) It's tiny tiny, only 5mm. And I found my first really good vertebrate material - a Pycnodont jaw with teeth and- 19 replies

Hello all! I purchased this fossil several years ago, The location given is 'Glen Rose, Texas, private ranch', and was labelled as 'Lower Cretaceous' coprolite on original matrix. I am 90% sure that the coprolites have been lightly stained with a brown stain. I have dozens of legit coprolite specimens from across the Southwest (but mostly Permian and Triassic), but I have never been convinced that this specimen, which definitely has potential for being authentic, actually is. Any insights you can provide would be deeply appreciated. [P.S., this is the 5th of 5 s
