Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) This was a fun month with some variety. Jam packed with 270 photos of scenery, in situ shots, and lovingly prepped reliquiae. - Central Texas Cretaceous shark teeth - West Texas Pleistocene* / Cretaceous 5 day solo gig....living days on end outside was a great way to spend my final days of bachelorhood - South Texas - a few Cretaceous shark teeth - North Texas - echinoids, ammonites, nautiloids, good times My report can be viewed online at the Brazosport Museum website at the following link http://bcfas.org/museum/Meander/2012/FOSSIL%20COLLECTING%20REPORT%20December%202012.pdf * Special thanks to Frank Garcia, Richard Hulbert, George Phillips and Harry Pristis for key input on Pleistocene specimen ID's.

fossiladdict Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I don't know what was crazier...cooking that steak in your vehicle or being that close to that spider!!! Nice finds for December . Fossils are simply one of the coolest things on earth--discovering them is just marvelous! Makes you all giddy inside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hey dan... another fun reprt. That wierd bone in pix 122-124 looks like a chvron. Do any of the big Pleistocene beasties have chevrons? Mammoths, no, but how about Glyptotherium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi Dan. Fun again. Do you think your fiancee might want to go fossil hunting in her wedding dress? And you in tuxedo? By the way, the old Lophas are now called Actinostreon, since they recently found out that they didn't exist way back then after all Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

astron Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Dan and Mrs Brett, Congratulations on one more exemplary and fascinating report that looks like annual rather than monthly!!! I'd like to be bitten by that millipede... Is it still there or you have got it with you??? Edited January 10, 2013 by astron Astrinos P.

Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) lots of dead millipedes out there, didn't see one alive. i got up within a foot of the tarantula though, close enough to make her rear back at me. but ultimately i just let her walk away.
