jbstedman Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Amazing fossils. The articulated lower leg is great. Thanks for posting. Besides fossils, I collect roadcuts, Stream beds, Winter beaches: Places of pilgrimage. Jasper Burns, Fossil Dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hey Joe Very nice horse material. Your stuff is in great shape for its age too. The older stuff looks as nice as the younger stuff. I've taken similar Pleistocene horse material to yours, but different in coloration, sometimes with adhered matrix. My stuff varies in mineralization. Feel free to keep the images coming!

Roz Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Pretty cool finds, Joe. That Clarendonian (upper molar) sure has one long root. Haven't seen many I will admit, but didn't realize the length before. The Trinity River sure parts with some really nice fossils. Welcome to the forum!

siteseer Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Here are a few of the horse fossils I've managed to collect over the years.Miocene/Pliocene Upper molar of a horse from the Clarendonian (late Miocene) of Donley Co., Texas Lower jaw fragment of a horse from the Clarendonian (late Miocene) of Donley Co., Texas Lower jaw fragment of a horse from the Hemphillian (early Pliocene) Coffee Ranch locality, Hemphill Co., Texas Three associated horse upper premolars from the Hemphillian (early Pliocene) of Hemphill Co., Texas -Joe That's an interesting horse tooth - the Clarendonian one from Donley County. Which genus is that? It doesn't look like a Hipparion-type. Is that Pliohippus? Is collecting still allowed at the Coffee Ranch site? I have seen horse and rhino teeth from there but that was years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteseer Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 the post is from a long time ago and the poster hasn't been seen lately, to my knowledge. Thanks, Tracer. I saw elsewhere in the forum that someone asked about Fruitbat. In any case I will show the photos to a friend and he will likely have ID's which I will share here.
