gwestbrook Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I had forgotten I had found Worthenia fossils of this size at the Jacksboro Pennsylvanian period Finis Shale site. Found these probably on my first or second collecting trip to that site 5 or 6 years ago. I have boxes of stuff I haven't looked in for years. Finding stuff that's surprising me.

Ludwigia Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Nice finds. Not surprising that you forgot them if you didn't catalogue them. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey P Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Excellent finds. I'm looking forward to visiting Jacksboro for the first time this fall. Your finds have helped wet my appetite. My only Worthenia I found in western Pennsylvania. I treasure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
