Rayminazzi Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I thought I would check out a small exposure of what I think is Buda formation, I wasn't expecting much but I thought maybe I might get lucky, boy did I. The most interesting finds were two crab carapaces IDed as graptocarcinus texanus, (thanks Dan) enough talking, pictures! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erose Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Cool Beans! The Buda has eluded me as well. But at the same time I have seen some really cool stuff come out of that formation including some neat echinoids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi Dan, yes it seems so, I concur. Graptocarcinus texanus is knonwn from Buda limestone and the cervical and the branchiocardiac groove and general shape seems to be identical. Good finds. 5 http://www.mbfossilcrabs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
