screweduptexan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Here are some more fossils...Ammonites and Gastropods?. Can anyone name the types that they are? And what is the big bumpy thing in the pics? These fossils are gorgeous and most have an irridecent sheen to them. So pretty to look at.... These were found in the PawPaw formation in North Texas. Same place as the ones in the other post. I can't come up with anything clever enough for my signature...yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screweduptexan Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Engonoceras serpintinum ammonites and mariella gastropod. Um...are all the ammonites the same species or different. I ask b/c I noticed that some are "bumpy" and some are flat disk shaped. I can't come up with anything clever enough for my signature...yet.

Auspex Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 At least two genera; we'll let Dan sort 'em out, since I don't have a clue...

screweduptexan Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Looks like someone shot at one of your fossils and missed. Actually, that is the back side of this. This is what I did the morning of my fossil collecting. I can't come up with anything clever enough for my signature...yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screweduptexan Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 First is a glock 19 9 mil; second is a shotgun. I am currently attending the Citizen's Police Academy in Lewisville and we were at the police firing range. No pellet gun. I can't come up with anything clever enough for my signature...yet.

Gatorman Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 must be bigger targets than mine or something course i shoot rifles not handguns cuz i cant afford a 50 cal desert eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screweduptexan Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I tell you what though...it sure was HARD to concentrate on those targets with all those hot policemen in the room. One asked if I wanted him to steady the shotgun by leaning up against it behind me. All I could think was oh you better not cause then I will definitely NOT be able to concentrate with your hot bod against mine! LOL! One of those policemen looked like Chuck Norris and another like the hot bad guy on Terminator. Whewieeee!!!! I can't come up with anything clever enough for my signature...yet.

MikeD Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 These are not fossils....or at least I dont think so...just rocks I like that I found while collecting fossils at this spot. The crystals are gypsum. The one in the center looks like a pottery wasp nest. Not sure about the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Nice shootin', Tex! In a previous life, I was a range safety officer and NRA certified pistol instructor. Still like to keep my skills up by pokin' holes in things from time to time . Watch your "plumb line" with that Glock; if it's not exactly the same each time you squeeze one off, you'll find yourself drawing smiles (or frowns) on the target. Just find your comfortable hold, and make it consistent.

Auspex Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 So, have you ever been firing an M203 grenade launcher at a berm at relatively close range and had the grenade hit something and richochet back over your head and go off BEHIND you?

screweduptexan Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 OMGosh tracer...are you talking about a personal experience here? the Glock was actually my favorite for the morning. I tried a 357 and decided I had enough after I got the target in the juggular, heart and stomach. Too much power for this Texan and the gun was too heavy.

mommabetts Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Nothing wrong with talking guns, I take a 380 every where I go. I also shoot black powder, throw hawk and knife. At one time I was Texas state champion in the knife and took 2 in the hawk throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
