Kimmersaurus Tex Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Fossil hunting in the NSR with my hubby on Nov. 2, I was not having much luck until I stumbled across this beautiful red echinoid. I have never found an echinoid in the NSR, but really was anxious to find one. I love that it was red too! My favorite find there so far. Anyone know any more about these?

Texas Fossil Hound Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Backstory: Right after Kim asked me if we could find Echinoids in the NSR, I thoughtfully explained to her that it was "very improbable in this section of the NSR. I know they are in the book, but the author meant they were in another section of the NSR." Kim promptly looked down and said "LOOK! I found an Echinoid!!!" I was thinking, surely it has to be something else. To my surprise, there it was. Now don't you think I felt like an idiot. ; ) Love yer find Kimmer! Jon "Silence is Golden, but duct tape is Silver."

fossiladdict Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Ok so DON'T laugh, but I found two pieces of echinoid today at the NSR. Maybe they are being exposed somewhere?????? Fossils are simply one of the coolest things on earth--discovering them is just marvelous! Makes you all giddy inside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Ok so DON'T laugh, but I found two pieces of echinoid today at the NSR. Maybe they are being exposed somewhere?????? Yes maybe a layer that was well covered is coming into play.. Odd how rare they seem to be there and are suddenly turning up.. I think you are onto something with your thinking..
