BluesharkRay Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Third one of these I've found lately. Very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Quite the conglomerate packed with mollusk shells. Seems younger than the Cretaceous stuff that I see posted from sites around Dallas. Do you have any idea of the age of the formation this came from? Are you a member of the Dallas Paleontological Society? They'd probably have some good information on this if they knew where you collected it. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesharkRay Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Yes I agree. Thanks for ur response. With regard to age of the formation, I'm not finding, or probably more accurately, not properly interpreting, much information on anything in Hunt/Kaufman Counties. Membership with DPS is definitely of interest. I will look at that here shortly. Is there a specific way to reach out them in an instance like this? I left a VM message a few weeks ago. Anyways, more photos attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClearLake Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Hunt and Kaufman counties are on the transition from Cretaceous to Eocene rocks in Texas. Your samples definitely look more likely to be younger as was mentioned, so possibly Kincaid Formation based on descriptions I read on geologic maps of the area. Would need a more precise location to be more certain or the OP can figure it out if so desired from the map link posted. Thanks for showing these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
