Guiding in the Glen Rose Fm

[Uncle Siphuncle]

I had the distinct honor of guiding Jim Cox (jgcox) and his wife Kim yesterday as they toured Texas for family and fossils.  The Glen Rose marine exposures north of San Antonio would have benefitted from rain to wash away the scratchings of other enthusiasts, but with a little diligence, we were able to assemble a burgeoning sack of goodies for their personal collection.  We all found targeted Leptosalenia texana echinoids, and it was fun to be within feet when they each found their first.  Jim's first one shown below.  Jim is a Viet Nam vet and Purple Heart recipient, so helping him find some cool fossils is one small thing I can do to express gratitude.

Glad you were able to help them get onto some satisfactory finds, Dan.  

Well done, sir.

Sound like a good time Dan it's always fun when you can meet up with some of the folks on here and get on the good stuff! Thank you for your service as well Jim

Thanks Dan we had a blast collecting and learning from your expertise! the next day we took our nieces (10 & 6) out to a site we collected last year and they had a blast. The 6 year old found the first echinoid and a beautiful gastropod. Both girls found clams, echinoids and gastropods

It always makes me happy to see kids making great finds.

Nice Dan! You always sharing knowledge and time.

And having a purple heart meant he gave blood for our freedom.
