Video of Lake Texoma hunt

Recommended Posts

Fossil Friday! Today's FF video post is from Lake Texoma. We made our first ever trip to lake Texoma to search the duck creek formation for ammonites. After much research and planning, we arrived to find we could not access the locations we wanted, so we ended up scouting around. It turned out well and we found some great fossils including ammonites, oysters, clams and echinoids.

Nice.  Been to that spot numerous times, but all the big ammonites are next shore line above where you standing at  6:27.

Is the biggest sea urchin an Hemipneust ?

I think Macraster sp. is bigger.   This one was bit worn.  Found in Fort Worth Texas.  Measures 3.5 inches / 8.89 cm.

I have a lot of trouble distinguishing the species.  The best factor I can see SEEMS to be that macraster are generally larger and have deep indentations in the star pattern, where the holaster are smaller and the star is not inset.  But with that said, its very confusing when trying to research. I wish I could find a guide put all the species in a line and said "this is the distinguishing aspects for this species"

I really want to get a small boat to visit a lot more spots that arent easily reached from land.

I won’t say it’s perfect, but it’s pretty darn good.

I was thinking about this comment.  I'm not sure this is the beach you are thinking of.  This isnt near the dam.

Most of the Duck Creek formation at the Lake Texoma in Texas side are located near the  Eisenhower State park,  just east of the park.  Were you at that vicinity? 

 

These are some of the Duck Creek formations in Texas and Oklahoma that I've been to.

Nope, not those areas.
