Tarrant County Texas Ammonite Hunt.

Recommended Posts

My first time back hunting since surgery. I'm not 100 % yet but I had a good morning hunt in Tarrant County TX. It was my first time hunting a different location besides NSR so it was fun.  I found a nice variety of Spiral (Mariella) Ammonites, Echinoids and Nautilus. I had to leave the huge ammonite  My hammer was no match.  :/

It looks like Cretaceous Grayson and or Mainstreet Formations. 4th picture, I see the pecten, Neithea and to the right a Coenholectyus  echinoid. The ammonite in the last photo might be a Paracalycoceras sp, ammonite. See Lance Hall's website for more info: http://northtexasfossils.com/

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
