CreekCrawler Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Well the rain made me antsy today. Two weeks prior I had lost my wristwatch along the shores of Lake Texoma while beach combing.So I sid to myself"Self" you need to go look for your watch....and collect along the way I managed an Eopachydiscus and a Mortoniceras ammonite. Im surprised my backpack held up to the abuse of two heavy ammonites pulling on the straps on that very long walk. I left plenty of Ammos there for the next collector.I found a few Echies,but this one stood out.Well...except for the crack in the test.Oh, no watch to be found.Maybe next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabetts Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Nice snakes. While I was taking pics at the 34 bridge, washing down the concrete steps there was a small snake also but it was moving so fast I couldn't get a pic of it. It was trying everything it could to get out of the water but the force was too strong for him to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Good finds! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
