North Texas Ammonites

Finally got some time to do some fossil hunting during my travels. This was as I was going through North Texas. Found some beautiful partial ammonites with sutures showing, and one (my favorite) ended up having three echinoids still in it. I plan on leaving them in there, of course.

 

This guy was like 50 pounds

Too big to bring home. Maybe I'll grab it next time.

I'm so sad I lost this little ammonite on the way back to the car :(

See if you can find the echinoid I missed, but found afterwards while looking at this picture

Great finds... I do like that chunk of ammo with the echinoids - never seen that sort of association before!
