Finds from Buffalo Creek park on Fossil Creek in Texas. This is a very busy park and there are sometimes questionable people around. I did however meet a nice guy, looked like Gandolf, minus some teeth, who gave me my only unsquished sea urchin. How can you keep the top layers of the sea urchins from chipping off?  First photo are ammonites and some pieces of ammonites. Second photo 

are my sea urchins, with one tiny bivalve and also some devil toenails, gryphea in a clump. Third photo gryphea. Fourth photo sea urchin. Fifth photo I don't know yet what it is, but it's pretty cool.

Very nice haul.:)

The last one seems to be a nautiloid.

Some fossils are more stable than others. Look up stabilizing and you may find a way to stabilize the urchins...
