Mariella Mosaic

Did another lunch hour prep today.  Heteromorphic ammonites Mariella brazoensis, Grayson Fm, North Texas.  None perfect, but security in numbers.

Those are some nice fossils. And you did an amazing job with the prep, what tools did you use?

Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils;).

Very nice Dan!

behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

I'm not used to seeing multiple heteromorphs on one chunk of matrix. That's one incredible find and an excellent prep job. Big congratulations and thanks for sharing it with us. Do you think there might be more of those out there?

Thx.  Just an ME-9100 scribe.  Good thing my workplace is fossil friendly.  The president is OK with me running an air house out behind the building and scribing my lunch hours away.  That way I have much better light than evenings, and no conflict w domestic obligations.

Hi Jeff.  I grabbed the obvious keeper stuff that was showing, but continued weathering could produce more, as would random smashing of rocks for blind finds.  Tough access to the site though.

Here’s something from the same site from last visit 3-5 years ago.  “Cephalopod Bouillabaisse with Oyster Lagniappe”.
