Recommended Posts

Hello from Texas! I have collected several gastropods from the SAME hunting site Lower Glen Rose Kgr(l) - Trinity Group, Cretaceous, Travis County, Texas. There is such a vast range of species and I wanted to share :) I am im the process of photographing all my gastropod finds and I will continue to add to this thread as I get the time to continue to photograph them. Hope you all enjoy them as much as I do.

when i've been away from central texas too long, it's nice to see a hoard of glen rose fossils, and the lighting in the photos is pleasing.

you realize of course that "snail lady and the steinkerns" would be a pretty good name for a rock band...

Extrodinary variety for a single site. What an enormous task it would be to sort through and see just how many individual species are represented. Maybe FruitBats' library has documentation that could help.

Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member... :)

Tracer, your right...that would be a GREAT band name!!!! I am happy the lighting looked good, I am not pleased with it...too much shadow in the corners of the pics...I just have so many I wanted to share them all with everyone!!!

danwoehr too funny and I cant stop laughing at your comment!!! and too true, not to get off topic...but I have worked for Keith and he has a "blood cleaning" machine backstage at every show....he wouldnt be alive otherwise....

He is rather the "fossil" himself!!!!
