I know that Goat! Goldthwaite, right?

Shhhhh! ;)

Nice tooth! I still have some TXI matrix to go through from this summmer. Hopefully, a nice surprise awaits me.

Here's something I've been trying to do a little bit lately. Underwater in-situ videos!

A manatee tooth, a broken Eocene mako and auriculatus.

I just posted these last week, but what they heck. An oreodont skull as found. And a small mammal skull (maybe) as found. post-1450-036712900 1285734313_thumb.jpg post-1450-080782300 1285734339_thumb.jpg

No after shots yet, as they are both in plaster jackets for a while.

Archaeocidaris brownwoodensis. All you can see are the spines (which are broken in this pic).

Intriguing... do you have an after picture of this?

As for the "guess the fossil" post, I see an Estwing hammer, but I don't think that's the right answer. A broken concretion... and...?

Well the guy that was with me said it was a mostly complete stromatolite. Im not totaly sure and he seemed to know what he was talking about and im not experianced with the fauna around there. We were also in a area that used to be a shallow see in the LC period. So i assumed he was right, but im getting a vibe here that he might be wrong?!?!?!?! :blink:

And sorry i dont have after pics. The thing was too heavy to carry back a mile to the cars. But if anyone is intrested in collecting it i can give you directions to its location!!!!

Not yet..... One of these days. Still needs to be prepped.

Looking forward to seeing it. Even if it happens ten years from now.

Found this Wenesday in the Peace. I quite sure it is a Mammoth ulna. Attached a photo of it partially cleaned up I think I've got 95% of it. It was a good day. I forgot to take a photo of it before I started digging around it. only a small part was above the sand.
