barefootgirl Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Look what I found! Yeah, I know it's been a while. My nursing career really ate up my life, especially being Director of Nursing at a long term care facility. So I took a step back and took things in another direction in regards to nursing and now I have Mon- Fri off to hunt! Woohooo!!! So today I hit a little spot on private land in E Texas and I found some great belemnites. Which are pretty fantastic for being in Texas. 3 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.

Ludwigia Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Nice to have you back, Tera! I used to run a care house as well, so I know how those crazy swing shifts can be like, not to mention the overtime when a coworker gets sick. No time for nothing but work, eat and sleep. Looks like you found some Belemnitella. Nice! Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Very cool. Common in Europe, but not in Texas. My Texas examples hail from the Eagle Ford and its equivalents, although I've seen them documented in Texas higher in section as well. 1 Grüße, Daniel A.

barefootgirl Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thanks guys. It's nice getting back out again and hunting. All I have to do now is work two 16hr shifts back to back and I get 5 days off. Love me some Baylor pay weekends!

Darktooth Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Nice finds! I am just getting back into it myself. I know very well how it feels to make your first nice finds after a hiatus. I have yet to find mine though. Congratulations. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Nice finds! Just purchased a couple of Belemnitella mucronata from Germany and sometimes found them in the UK, but yours are lovely. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantguy Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Nice you are getting to get out again. What are the two little finds to the lower left of quarter. Are they belemnite frags or maybe teeth--one looks like a shark of some kind. congrats on the finds. Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
