emtreloa Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Our second summer trip was up to the Glen Rose, TX area. We rented a great place via Home Away that had a fossil hunting spot. Super convenient when the heat was >110F. We hit the Dinosaur Valley State Park and went fossil hunting at the property we stayed at. Found lots of great cretaceous fossils. Still trying to identify a bunch of them. We found heart urchins, devil's toenails, I think there are some Oxytropidoceras fragments, etc. Oxytropidoceras fragments? Not sure what this is yet.

Monica Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 This piece reminds me of an orthoconic nautiloid, but they died out before the Cretaceous, so perhaps this is a chunk of a belemnite phragmocone? PS - Nice finds, once again! Look at all of those urchins!!! I'm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emtreloa Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 Thanks all for the warm welcome! @Monica - Thank you for the direction on that fossil. I'll have to take some more pics of it and post on the ID thread, but it's great to have some place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
