Hey everyone! I was planning on passing through Brownwood, Texas, which I know is definitely full of fossils if you know where to look. However, never having been there before, I do not know the best publicly available sites to hit. Would anyone happen to have any they could suggest? Thanks so much!

I have been contacted by the local historical museum which is looking for a prepared brownwoodensis urchin from the Lake Brownwood Spillway. Even though I live here I have never been able to successfully collect and prepare one of these. I told the local museum person I would try to help in the search for a suitable example. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a specimen?

Based on what I've learned, it appears the lease sits in the Thirfty and Graham formations but I cant say that with 100% certainty

My dad, my brothers and my 6 year old nephew had all scheduled a trip out to the clay pits on April 23rd. I didn't know that DPS was going until a few weeks later. I was excited to meet them out there. We drove our typical route into the area, through Grosvenor, but when we came to Jim Ned Creek, we were in for a surprise! The water, which usually flows under the gravel road there was flowing about ten feet above it! It was incredible how much water was moving through there. So I grabbed my scuba gear.... Just kidding. We u-turned and headed back out to the Grosvenor highway. We had h
