I had the opportunity for a half-day of fossil hunting Saturday and went out to Mansfield looking for Lower Britton formation outcrops. I'd done some prospecting and thought I had a few sites, but as it turns out I hit the Woodbine. My second location was a total bust and I found nothing except green brier, cockle burs, and alluvium. Still found a few specimens that made it into the collection, which is much better than sitting at home or striking out completely. I've made it to a point in my collecting that I'm no longer satisfied with sites I can find online and have switched to prospecting new sites. So far I am one success out of four tries but it's a lot better than doing the same thing over and over plus an added benefit is that after failing to find anything for a few trips finding even an oyster is exciting! Perspective is everything Part of the site: Oysters, Ostrea leveretti seems a likely match: I liked this one especially: I'm not that into minerals, but I thought this Gypsum was worth picking up: Wishing y'all luck out there! - James
