Well, once again (as you will see, I spend much time here ^_^ ) I was back in the Puerco.

I was on a mission for a nice romaniceras mexicanum (which I did not find). My search brought some nice gastropods...

This find made my day (though, it will take another trip to get it home)!...

Yes, all from the same formation. There are a variety of gastropods, bivalves and ammonites. Fossilized ocean wonderland!
