MSirmon Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 This is from a second road cut west of Mineral Wells. I suspect plant of some type by the folding(?) seen in the end cuts. Any ideas or is it just a really cool piece of sandstone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifbrindacier Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Yes really cool. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

BobWill Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I can't make ant sense of any of these road cut finds but I probably would have picked them up for a closer look too. This should be Pennsylvanian marine strata so plant material would be rare but possible. Are you at road cuts past the Brazos River but before Palo Pinto?

MSirmon Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 On the north side access road just east of mile marker 273. I'll double check the mile marker in the next couple days when I get back that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
