Windmill site and other Puerco area fossils.

Hey all,

 

Had the honor of being taken fossil hunting with Pfooley recently.  Found my first ammonites!  I'd been wanting to find some for a long time.  Was a great experience and I look forward to more trips soon. 

 

Checked out the famous "Windmill Site" first. 

 

The drive there was amazing in early morning.

I busted open my first nodules...

Poor quality picture of the Windmill Site finds.  Nice variety in there.  Far left is a large bivalve and there's a large gastropod on the far right.  

We moved on to find some other ammonites.

My best find of the day was this large whole Spathites.

Had a blast and can't stop thinking about the next time I'll find myself out there...

Thanks again Mike!

Congratulations on your finds Kenny.  

 

I'm jealous of your trip with Mike - I hope one day to meet and hunt with Mike. 

Thanks for the report and pictures.

While I have not had the pleasure of meeting or hunting with Mike, I can say he is a great guy and has some of the most breathtaking scenery in his photo's. Great finds. That would be a great trip to make sometime.

Congratulations. Sounds like the two of you had a great time. Reminds me of when I collected with Mike and Brian back in August, an unforgettable day. Mike IS a great guy and super knowledgeable, and fun to collect with. Your finds are excellent, but that sunrise shot is totally awesome- BEAUTIFUL!!!! Congratulations.

Mike is a great host, and that New Mexico landscape can't be beat.

(Thank you...y'all are great as well)

 

 

@Kenny151, I would not mind seeing some more pics of that gastropod, as well as that large bivalve (if you get a chance)...both are really cool finds.

 

FYI: beginners luck only happens once.

Couldn't resize the pictures on my phone so I had to make a post for each.
