Texas Echies - A Few More! Plus 2 Bucket List Finds!!
JamieLynn posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I really thought I had done a post on my latest finds - but apparently I have not! So here are my "new" additions to the All the Echies of Texas collection! Happily, one is a bucket list find - a Lower Cretaceous Glen Rose formation Tetragramma tenerum. I had two Tetragrammas on my echinoid bucket list and this one is now in my collection! Still looking for that T. taffi..... EDIT: See below because I think I just realized I DID find my T. taffi!!!!!! Tetragramma tenerum Comal County A find from up North Texas, in Fort Worth, was this one which I had THOUGHT was a Tetragramma streeruwitzi because I THOUGHT the formation I found it in was Duck Creek from the Washita formation and now, just now, going back to check the map and location, I realized I was in the Goodland Formation which is Frederickburg and NOT Washita, so what I had thought was a T. streeruwitzi....is most likely actually a Tetragramma taffi!!!! MY OTHER BUCKET LIST TETRA!! Now I am for sure going to get it cleaned up! I was planning on it, but just hadn't gotten around to it...so to the prepper you will go my little friend! And back in Central Texas, in the Comanche Peak formation - a little bit busted up Globator parryi, but you can at least see the "cheerio" rings on the test And while not a new one to my collection, at least a little bit better one than my first - a Goniopygus whitneyi from the Upper Glen Rose formation So the total list is: Macraster - texanus, elegens and washitaensis Heteraster - mexicanus, obliquetus and texanus Phymosoma texanum Goniopygus - zitelli, whitneyi and sp. Leptosalenia - mexicana, volana and texana and possible sp. Pliotoxaster - whitei and comanchei Hyposalenia phillipsae Pygopyrina hancockensis Holaster simplex Tetragramma texanum, tenerum and taffi!! Loriolia - rosana and possibly whitei (if that is considered a viable species) Polydiadema travisensis Anorthopygus texanus Heterosalenia sp. Paraorthopsis comalensis Coenholectypus - planatus and ovatus Pseudodiadema aguilera Plagiochasma texanum Goniophorus scotti Hemiaster - calvini and bexari Washitaster sp. Diplodetus americanus Echinothurid sp. plates Balanocidarid spines Globator whitneyi and parryi Pedinopsis engerrandi Not Cretaceous Eocene Protoscutella mississippiensis Pennsylvanian Archeocidaris plates and spines Pronechinus plates and spines- 9 replies
