My son and daughter in law found some brittle stars in Waco Texas recently. He has not had a chance to post so here are a couple pictures.

Wow, very nice! I'm a little out of the loop, so pardon the dumb question, but what formation/age?

Very nice Tully! Wow those are sweet.

Fossils are simply one of the coolest things on earth--discovering them is just marvelous! Makes you all giddy inside!

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.
