Good Ol' Rio Puerco


PFOOLEY

Recommended Posts

It had been a while, but I finally got out for some collecting last weekend. Some friends and I camped out in the Cretaceous Marine outcrops of the Rio Puerco.

The morning started out with small handful of ptychodus teeth.

The rest of the day was filled with some nice spathites and coilopoceras ammonites.

Camping at a great fossil site; this would be a dream come true for me!
