I found a tarrant formation exposure along the trinity river, a scenic little spot that I was happy to find. In addition to my seemingly usual haul of conlinoceras ammonites (on the smaller side this time), I found a couple of neat little gastropods, gyrodes petrosa. One of them has had its shell replaced with calcite, making for a really shiny/reflective appearance. I also found a piece of petrified wood with sand still stuck to one side. I’m always amazed that we can find these ancient artifacts and we even know which side was touching the ground as it was fossilized for so long (if I’m interpreting the condition correctly). One pic shows an ammonite exactly as I found it, shouting to me “please adopt me and take me home to a warm bed!” Dallas county, this weekend.
