Jackito Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I did some exploring by an area of Shoal Creek (Austin, Texas) that experienced a large landslide recently. I first tried Bouldin Creek but I stumbled onto a group of free-range city dwellers bathing in the creek. It was a bit awkward so I just left. The location I found on Shoal Creek experienced a large landslide resulting in exposed rocks. The area seems to be a natural drainage area so the rocks were moist and soft. It was cool to see the various shells eroding out of the soft rock of the landslide. My best find was a few beer cans from the 80's, a slab with some interesting features, some devil's toenails, and a some sort of larger shell. No woolly plesiosaurs this trip but we're getting closer... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The larger shell is actually a rather nice nautiloid! Good finds. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared C Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 sweet nautiloid - I actually haven't found one yet, despite my interest.

Pretty sure it's a golf ball like in fourth pic, size reference I'm guessing and it was probably convenient. I've seen creeks with hundreds of golf balls in a short distance. There's some bad golfers out there. Edited September 16, 2021 by Lone Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
