So I decided that I would finally make a point of documenting some of these back country field excursions, and made a Youtube channel to keep the videos all in one place. Here's a a rather ordinary extraction of a placenticeras ammonite found the day before we did a little field work with some paleontologists. The GoPro is a fun addition to my kit, and makes it a lot easier to document the actual process of finding and extracting these things in the field. Anyway, I'll let the video speak for itself - enjoy! (click the image to open video link)

Hello- I have a Placenticeras meeki specimen in my collection (see attached pic) and I'm curious to know if the iridescence of its shell can be improved in some way, given its condition- Thanks in advance, Fabio

On Sunday afternoon I went out with Keith Minor to a North Texas site exposing the lower Arcadia Park formation and (possibly?) the top of the Britton Formation (lower Turonian, upper Cenomanian respectively). The hunt almost never happened after various storm cells were menacing us and the high winds were thrusting cranes into sky scrapers and whipping up emphysema inducing dust clouds. Yet, even though everyone around us was getting Kansas blown at them, we were only exposed to the high winds and rain so cold and blown so hard that it felt almost like hail. But that lasted for only a few minutes, leaving the rest of the day to muck around in the Turonian while the winds blew most of the clouds away by hunt’s end. The Kamp Ranch Limestone is exposed very nicely at the site, as well as meters of shale beds above and below it, making a short study of the successive stratification obligatory. FIG 1: The roughly 38 cm (15 inch) thick Kamp Ranch jutting out amongst the soft shale and clay above and below it. The clouds foretell the showers to befall us. (ID request incoming)
