Ptychodus04 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Last weekend, @BobWill was nice enough to take a bunch of us out for some ammonite collecting in the Lower Cretaceous Duck Creek Formation. We had received 3" of rain the day before so the water was a little high. That didn't stop the ammonites from showing up for the event. There were 8 of us and everyone found more ammonites than they wanted to carry. I wound up schlepping a 15" Eopachydiscus 2 miles through the creek to get it back to the truck! Thankfully, the largest Eo of the day at a VERY heavy 18" diameter was found only 200 yards from the truck. My find of the day came in the smallest possible form. I believe to be in the possession of an Eopachydiscus protoconch. Once I prep it, I'll know for sure. I'll post some photos here eventually, but I have one specifically for @JohnBrewer as we all know how much he loves kilts. This kilt has has seen over 50 nights of camping and multiple fossil collecting trips and hiking trips. 1 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Nice!! Can't wait to see the finds, Kris! Does the kilt come in the fire hose material?

This one is a very heavy cotton. I've even done some blacksmithing in it. 4 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave the kilt jokes for the others. Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about science books.........

Ludwigia Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I though it was Dan'l Boone who carved that he kilt a bar on this tree? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptychodus04 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 @JohnBrewer For the record... knickers should always be worn when fossil collecting. The kilt has been washed after all the trips mentioned. It's not dirty, just stained from lots of rough use. @Ludwigia I have never tried to put a kilt on a bear but everyone says I'm just like a bear so I guess I really have... @ynot No real statement here, kilts are just too comfortable to not be worn.

If he's wearing knickers, then it ain't a kilt, it's a skirt. Kilts have nothing under them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's off the shirts worn by the folks at one of the kilt vendors at the festivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
