JarrodB Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I found a very nice variety of items while hunting my new favorite creek. I think the formation is Eagle Ford. I found a nice ammonite bed that I"ll start checking after a good rise. I had to leave the 50 lb + ammonite until I can get a boat or raft in there to float it out 2 miles. The old US military button was my favorite find of the day. The button is 1902 or later but still very old and makes you wonder how it ended up there? Two of the shark teeth are pretty big.

Miocene_Mason Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 looks like a great hunt! Hope you can bring back that ammo, maybe clean it up a bit. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Mud Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Wow that's a big ammonite! I think I would have trouble leaving it behind and would have probably risked an injury trying to haul it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John S. Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Nice finds Jarrod that button is cool. I found one of those a few years ago in Hunt County. It does make you wonder. North Central Texas Eagle Ford Group / Ozan Formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilobolus Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Epic indeed! On leaving them behind pending preparedness; I left one Ammo out there once for more than a year...Could not stop thinking about it...that it would be gone, but by the time I got back out, the attendant matrix that made it so heavy mostly sloughed off.
