Very interesting report and that Enchodus jaw is simply awesome. Congratulations. Wish we had ones like that here.

Great report! Thanks for showing the notes on the exposure layers. Very interesting! Congrats on your first Enchodus sp. jaw.

Great Enchodus jaw section and thank you for the geologic views and lessons. :)  Any word on what the waxy lumps were in the orange clay?

Thank you!

 

Not really, just that they were odd mineral depositions. I am not even sure of what mineral, or why that clay layer is there. It seems out of place, and is the only such (non bentonitic) clay layer I have personally seen in the Austin Group.
