Hey folks! I’ve got an unusual ammonite found in Rankin Texas. I believe it’s from Edwards Limestone, but I don’t have an exact pinpoint on the location. This whole one was found, and a part of another of the same species, but I haven’t been able to identify them as of yet. Edit: Confirmed it is indeed Edwards Limestone. Measurement is with a 1in with centimeters marked. Thank you!

A friend sent me these pics from Val Verde County, Texas near the Edwards Limestone formation, about 17 miles south of the intersection of Highway 277 and Highway 55. Approximately 6-7 inches long and approximately 1.5 inches diameter at the base although oval not round. It is carbonate material, and looks like it was calcified. Any help on identification would be helpful. 1) 2) 3) 4)

Gary obtained permission for us to hunt a massive exposure of the Walnut Clay. The site was a huge aggregate quarry that was in operation for more than 60 years. From the gate--Buzzard Peak has an elevation of 2400 feet. I'm standing at about 2000 feet of elevation. Base camp--can you spot Gary? Your intrepid correspondent and his fearless partner. Massive outcrops and piles everywhere. Buzzard Peak is an apt name. Three peaks give evidence of long-ago volcanic activity. Miles and miles and miles of Texas. Edwards limestone with karstic features. Wildflowers. Some mysteries--probably from the Edwards cap. Ammonites and straight-line cephalopods?
