jkfoam Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Thair, I have hunted at that Lake Waco site many times over the past almost 40 years with groups and individually. Those are the best brittle stars that I have ever seen to come from that site. Congratulations to the finders.

Shamalama Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Veyr nice, what nice fossils to find. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
