Texas Trip to Laredo

[Joe Salande]

Greetings Guy/gals!

I'm making a short trip to Laredo Texas next month.

Do any of you know if there's many fossils in that area.

I will have a full day to poke around. I'm told that it's hill country, with many old washout creek beds.

Any thoughts would be great. 

I'm a bit new to fossil hunting, so just thinking ahead.

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Loredo is going to be Eocene. The map description suggests it is similar to the Cooks Mountain which is what we see at Whiskey Bridge. But is it the same? I have no idea... maybe someone else is more familiar with that part of Texas.

Casa Blanca lake in Laredo has some Eocene Gastropod & Oyster deposits.
