I had to stop by a work clients construction site today (he builds houses), a mere 3-4 miles from where I live.

They had just dug trenches for the waterlines, so I glanced around..Lo and behold, I found the biggest Cymatoceras nautiloid I’ve ever found.

 

Fat Albert must have eaten everything else on the surrounding acre, because I barely found anything else..LOL!

I was pretty thrilled. It’s over 11.5 pounds. A friend asked me if it was an Eopachydiscus..nope, it’s a Tarrant county Grayson formation nautiloid!

Is Fat Albert going to be prepped?  Nice find!

Hi Jay! Yes, I’ll definitely get this one cleaned up. I have some other nice ones, but none that are this big! I have a few months of material to prep, so I’ll slowly trickle out some finished pieces in coming months..I might be getting a new (used) highland park saw, too, we’ll see
