Herb Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) Some tiny ammonoids from the Finis shale at Jacksboro, TX. I'll try them again with the microscope at a later time. They are hard to work with this small.

mikecable Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Nice. My original plan for Saturday was to go back to Lost Creek Spillway, and do some serious micro exploration. But my partner got us into a private quarry in the Walnut Clay that is closer and has lots of potential. But I'm itchin' to get back to the Finis Shale.

JeanB Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Lovely indeed! May I asked you where to find a good ressource to begin with on how to prepare microfossils from crude samples. I found links on internet but they are not friendly user for beginners. Thanks! Jean JeanB Montreal, QC, Canada Ordovician, Trenton group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
