barefootgirl Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Those are really really nice! Wish I had some to show.

Roger Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Those are really really nice! Wish I had some to show. Here ya go Idiohamites fremonti collected 5-18-1996 from the Lafarge Cement Quarry in N Ft Worth, TX. At the time I believe it to be the Kiamichi formation but I think we have now determined that it is the clay marl of the Duck Creek. Plesioturrilites sp. collected 3-21-2008 from private site in North Richland Hills, TX finally - Plesioturrilites brazoensis collect 6-12-1994 at a creek off of Glenview drive in North Richland Hills. Site has since been cemented over. Formation Duck Creek. The Plesioturrilites sp are fairly common here in North Texas although find the large ones like the last picture is harder to do as they tend to break into pieces. For example I recently visited a site in Denton off of Hgy 380 and all of the turrilites were just pieces. However the smaller ones - which can be mistaken for gastropods are fairly common. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossisle Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Holy snarge!!! Just fantastic. Your name isnt jason or rick ross is it?RB I have been known to answer to Rick and Jason did the prep work. He does an amazing job working on some of these hard concretions from our area. Many collectors have had him prep some of their best pieces. I would have liked to have met you Ron when you were here, looked kind of cold though!! Cephalopods rule!!
