Ok..so far I’ve posted my turrilites and my woodbine ammonites, next will be these eopachydiscus ammonites and my oxytropidoceras, with echinoids and most (some are at the beauty shop) of my mortoniceras ammonites. these eopachydiscus ammonites represent at least a couple of different species from the looks of it, though I am not knowledgeable regarding scientific names, I just know they look different! LOL..no preparation has been applied other than soap/water and a little careful chiseling of matrix that I thought I could tackle. One of the big ones cracked in half due to it being my first big one to remove. I used Elmer’s glue and crushed limestone to fill the crack but I’ll likely soak it to get it out and replace it with an epoxy. Another one is cracked but never broke, I put super glue in the cracks just in case. Nice sutures on a few! 2 of the smaller eopachydiscus are 11-12 inches across, the biggest is around 17 inches, most are 14-15 inches.

Just got home from a sorrowful trip to Texas. I stopped at the Denison Dam on Lake Texoma for a relaxing hunt. I did find some oysters (brought one home for my grandson), and found a nice exterior mold of an ammonite. However, there was one piece I saw and photographed that I'm not sure what it was. I'd have brought it home, but I noticed two cottonmouths too close for comfort. The object was approximately 6"×10" (15×24 cm). Although it was in jumbled rip-rap, I believe it from the Duck Creek Formation. I hope the photo is clear enough.

A few weekends ago I went to Texoma with the family and found a bunch of crushed Echinoids. Looking at them today, I noticed that one has what appears to be the spines still remaining. That leaves me two questions: Are these spines? And how common is it to find them with spines if that is indeed what they are? As always. Thank you for the insight.
