Waco Pit Brach Plates Pics And Info?

[trempie4]

Hola All,

Thats a lot of P's in that title......!

I have yet another opportunity to hit the Waco Pit next week and when you come from where I come from it's a rare treat. I'm specifically interested in the brach plates I've seen on TFF at least one time but can no longer locate either the link or the photo.

I have a general sense of where to look thanks to an accommodating TFF member, but any additional info, or especially a link back to the pic I'm referencing if you might have seen it is appreciated.

Good fun to all!

TIA

Thanks Carmine but that wasn't it. If I recall it was a thread sepcific to the Waco Pit but I have searched the forums, I thought I had bookmarked it as well but I can't find it either way. Maybe someone will know of which I speak!

The only common Brachiopod in that formation is Kingena wacoensis. It is a rather smooth, round form, nothing fancy. But I have never seen plates of them from the Waco Pit. My guess would be to look for the limestones around the slopes above the pit floor.
