  1. I went back to cover more ground on my massive goodland exposure and found a bunch of additional hemiaster and heteraster echinoids. These are much smaller than macrasters, but I found two relatively large ones. I like the texture due to the bumps where spines once were. Tylostoma and other gastropods can be found there too. I’ll work on blasting the sand off. Tarrant county, TX in Fort Worth.
  2. I went to my favorite Fort Worth formation spot near my house (Johnson County) and came home with a nice Christmas present to myself, 6 macraster echinoids, 2 of which are nearly perfect and are now amongst the best I have. They’re also huge, I am naming one Absolute Unit and the other The Rock. Also a rough looking holaster and a bunch of smaller mortoniceras ammonites. Check out the curvy fold in one of them. Poor dude went flaccid right when he hit the bottom of the ocean. Lol..I decided to flip a huge rock I’ve walked by many times (natural for me as a snake chaser) and I’m glad I did, I found a robust 2 inch wide x 8 inch diameter mortoniceras attached within the rock. It’s beyond my ability to easily free it, but I will get it done with some help. Nice calcite on the outside where I broke away some matrix. one of the morts is a mess (the one with the green algae on one side), it’s beautiful but I’ll have to make a decision about leaving it as is or cutting it to the point where it’s complete on both sides.

    Hamites & more- Duck Creek+

    My favorite creek in south Tarrant County TX has enough length to it that it takes several trips to truly explore the available area. After the recent heavy rain, I finally explored a bit farther down the creek, finding a combo of oxytropidoceras ammonites (at least for the week I had before algae grew back) and a bunch of small mortoniceras and hamite ammonites. These are some of my larger hamites I have thanks to the recent rain. Also some sizable devils toenail oysters, not exciting but still noteworthy in size (no pics yet). The 14.5” oxy is missing the center, what a shame! Still a nice looking fossil. I took my friend Mercer with me, he helped me to realize this was actually a unique spot where Duck Creek, Fort Worth formation, and Kiamichi clay all meet and have exposure. Very interesting.

    North Sulfur River Bone

    Hi all, my daughter and I found this bone in the north sulfur river up near the Dallas/ Fort Worth Texas area a few weeks ago. It seems to be a reasonably complete structure of some kind but I sure don't recognize it! I really appreciate any help!
  5. I found this Coenholectypus echinoid in the Mainstreet Limestone in Fort Worth, Texas. Unlike the heart-shaped echinoid that I've found in other formations, these type echinoids' tests appear to have fossilized into a dark crystalline mineral. I'm not quite sure what mineral this is, and hope that it doesn't react to acids so that it can be acid prepped. It can be hard to see in the image, but on the edge of the fractured test you can see that it's made of a dark mineral with a reflective shimmer. I'm not sure if it is just calcite with impurities to make it that color, but of the 5 specimens of this genus, the 3 that are also crystalline have the same coloration.

    Echinoderm?

    I believe these were found in the Lake Texoma area. Any suggestions on what they are and how I might remove some of the sediment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
  7. While staying in North Texas I made stops to a couple local creeks such as Fossil Creek in Fort Worth. I've been trying to narrow down the identification of some ammonites and other things but despite the popularity and attention the creek receives I have had a difficult time determining what formations outcrop in the specific area. It's complicated by the fact that I'm not used to the stratigraphic characteristics of the formation of the area. I strongly suspect most of my fossils to have come from the Weno based on stratigraphic descriptions. However, I have read one source that leaves the Weno undivided with the Pawpaw and the Denton so the difference may not always be clear. Is anyone familiar with the specific formation(s) for Fossil Creek? Are there any key indicator species that can make delineating the formations easier?

    Tusk/Corral/Stone?

    I found my dog chewing on this in our backyard after he had been digging. I'm curious as to what it may be, and whether or not I should let him keep it! It is roughly 7 centimeters wide at the base and 13 centimeters long. Found in Fort Worth, Texas. Any information is appreciated! Thanks!

    Jobsite Find

    Good afternoon to all. A colleague and I were doing some exploring in a creek bottom on our jobsite located in Fannin County, Texas. The creek we were walking in drains into the North Sulphur River. As we were walking we noticed a large bone sticking out of the creek bank. We decided to grab a couple of shovels and do a little more excavating. We came across multiple bones. As you may see in one of the pictures, we had to do a little digging in order to reach much of the bones, they definitely weren't just lying in the creek bank. I will upload more pictures with measurements. I kinda want to gauge if we stumbled across actual fossils, and if so we were hoping for some sort of inclination of what we may have found. The coordinates for the find are 33.4122,-96.0804. We were at least 15 feet below the grade of the jobsite in the creek.

    Need help with ID please...

    I’m in the twilight zone apparently...I know how ridiculous this seems, but the only thing I can find that remotely seems to match this thing for size and shape is titanaboa. I’m open to other suggestions. This was in my back yard in Fort Worth, Texas...relatively shallow - about a foot to the top of it. We are in a rocky area and are within 30 ft of the highest elevation in the county, about 150 ft above the average for the city. I can’t find a tape measure to put next to it, but measured with my iPhone and it’s 29” long, 13” wide, and about 9” at the highest point. Seems to weigh in the 80-100 lb range. It looks like were other At least 2 other snakes on top of it that you can make out on the top left of it, but pieces of them have broken off as well as some of the main specimen. The underbelly is in excellent condition...it seems clearly show “snakeskin”. It wouldn’t let me attach more pictures, but on the back you can clearly see vertebrae at almost the center position and what seems to be some other type of nerve endings above that. There are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of pieces in the immediate area from ground level down ranging from quarter sized up to basketball sized with most between golf ball and baseball. I’ve been digging slowly for 3 days with no end in sight. Many of them are hard to specifically identify but seem to almost all meet criteria for fossil and not rock. Please help...

    Denture Clam?

    I found this in the creek next to my house a year or so ago and had no idea what it was. I recently saw pictures of “denture clams” and I thought it looked similar. Any input?

    Need help identifying this fossil

    My neighbor found this specimen in a gravel parking lot at his work in Fort Worth, Texas. Is this a Crinoid stem piece? The hole goes all the way through.

    Fort Worth creek fossil ID

    I found all of these today at Fort Worth creek. I Identified most, like ammonite, nautiloid, gryphaea, bivalves, echinoids, but on the picture 2, what is that? Is that a oyster or a clam? Fourth picture is a mass gryphaea bed.

    Vertebra?

    Found it at the Trinity River in Fort Worth Texas. Is it Pleistocene and wich bone and animal is it from? About 10 cm.
  18. It's been a few years of hunting for me now. What began as a spontaneous trip to North Sulphur River, spurred by childhood nostalgia, has become something of a gnawing beast that constantly nibbles at the corner of my consciousness. What will the weather be like this weekend? When will I have another three-day break? Is the car road-trip ready? Do I have the right foot ware for the locale? Is that unprepped fossil an ammonite or a nautilus? When will I finally find my first mosasaur tooth? And on and on... I've often wondered if this is a pre-midlife crisis. The time I get to spend outside is usually enjoyable, even when the weather is inhospitable. Is it madness that I am picking up ammonites at Lake Texoma among rocks covered in icicles? Possibly. Why worry about freezing cold water creeping over the tops over your boots when there is a beautiful vertebra with an ebony patina sitting in the gravel bar across the channel? I've hunted the well known sites up until now. North Sulphur River, Whiskey Bridge, Post Oak Creek. I have still much to learn about these places and the fossilized remains found there. But alas the gnawing beast isn't satisfied with only a handful of locations, regardless of their charm and ability to still surprise. So with a few carefully coordinated research tools, new sites began to slowly appear on my radar. I'm gettin' around. Considering this was one of my first scouting missions, this trip was pretty productive. The finds below are all from Bosque County, and likely came from several units: Comanche Peak, Edwards, and Fort Worth. All Cretaceous. Urchins, clams, gastropod steinkerns, oysters, prints. Let me know what you think. Until the gnawing starts again, ladies and gentlemen...
