Plio‐Pleistocene microtektites reported from the Upper Tamiami Formation (Pinecrest beds) of Florida.
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News
It appears that people can find Plio‐Pleistocene microtektites associated with and inside closed clams of the Upper Tamiami Formation (Pinecrest beds) of Florida. Maybe enterprising fossil collectors and citizen scientists could look for and find microtektites in other outcrops of Pinecrest beds. The paper is: Meyer, M., Harries, P.J. and Portell, R.W., 2019.
