A Warm Texas Saturday

Recommended Posts

My wife and I met Danwoehr at the Arroyo of Ammoninity, near the River of No Return on Saturday. The day started nicely in the low 60's but warmed up quickly. We found some great Sphenodiscus pleurisepta, a few artifacts, shark teeth and a great evening supper. I'm sure there will be a full documentation in Dan's April Report.

It must be the experience of the several years I have on Dan...but he eventually recovered. He acted like it was the ammonites, but I think it was the electrolytes. :D

Hmmm. River of No Return, hey? I think I know the place. Blue-green water, lots of limestone, I think I have it narrowed down to somewhere within a few jillion square miles of central Texas.

That's some seriously nice muahaahaahaa, John (and Dan and Mrs. J).

Hey thanks for the picts! I love that arrowhead and those ammonites are huge.

In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.

Just prepped my 19 ammonites last night - Big Bertha is a quite a sight to behold - 14 inches without a ding in the entire keel, with a big, well preserved, attached gastropod to boot - my biggest of this genus to date!!! Now if I could just find the time to prep these dang echinoids I might be able to post a report in my lifetime......
