Shaun-DFW Fossils Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Beginners luck: one of the very first ammonites I found in March of this year is apparently quite rare, in fact, I’ve never found one since - Graysonites lozoi. I believe the Grayson Formation, where I found this, typically only has nautiloids, and some nice oysters. It’s not in great shape, and I haven’t even tried to remove any matrix, but it’s still an interesting ammonite that looks a bit different from the typical Mortoniceras ammonites I find. Location is Tarrant County, actually in Burleson where I live. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showed it to a friend who has the academic literary resources to look up the features and description given where I found it and that’s what he found. I hope to find another one, of course.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
