Planko Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Hi everyone. Decided to hunt somewhere other than NSR this time. Not a bad 2 hours. Man that Texas sun is crazy right now. Any-who, 6 ammonites , several clams, a few oysters and the below. Is it a Neithia Texana, Pectan or ?? Beat up a bit but I am happy with it.

ClearLake Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 That's a Neithea all right. I'll find my book in a minute and see if we can get which species for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClearLake Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Looks like Neithea texana may be right. Unfortunately its missing the ears to help with the ID, but that seems right. If you know what formation it came out of, that can help to. Some Neithea expert may be along soon, with a more definitive opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like 110 in the afternoon even in the shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planko Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Wow...my bad. It came from the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. North Texas. Sorry I missed putting that in. Although I have the fossil addiction I might have to hibernate for the rest of the summer. Give me time to clean up what I have. Unless someone knows of a decent ammonite spot in north Tx. I will brave the heat for that. Just do the 5am to 8am shuffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
