Herb Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Here is a collection of varied specimens I collected at Jacksboro Lake a couple weeks ago in the Finis Shale. A mixed bag of: crinoid, brachiopods, pelecypods, gastropods, fusilinids, ostracods, bryozoan, corals, worm tubes, echinoderm spines, foraminifera and stuff I haven't ID'd yet.

Missourian Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Nice variety of micros. Those little ostracods seem to show up everywhere. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikecable Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Herb Very nice. I'll be back in the Finis Shale at Lost Creek soon. I'm definitely going to take some micro-matrix out this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikecable Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Dr. Steve Rosscoe at Hardin Simmons University in Abilene collects conodonts from Mineral Wells Fossil Park. I assume they would be present at Jacksboro as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobWill Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Hey herb, that's a great way to post the micros, very convienient for questions. Which number is the fusilinid for example:) Also what size are the squares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 They are in box 1, hard to tell since I didn't orient them too well on the slide. The boxes are 7mm square. I print out the sheets using Excell. You can also print them in reverse colors white on black for light colored fossils.

Herb Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Just grab a couple pint clay samples from various points up the slope 1 "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"_ Carl Sagen No trees were killed in this posting......however, many innocent electrons were diverted from where they originally intended to go.
