Uncle Siphuncle Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 My collecting was a bit lighter than some months this April, in part due to a lingering case of "weapons grade" poison ivy that I acquired while scouting for new sites, then, inadvertently, I passed the rash to the wifey - good times! To see a few Cretaceous echinoids and a little Pleistocene vert material, feel free to peruse my report on the Brazosport Museum website BMNS.org at the following link: http://bcfas.org/museum/Meander/2013/Fossil%20Collecting%20Report%20April%202013.pdf 1 Grüße, Daniel A.

Uncle Siphuncle Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yeah Gary that red tooth is a gem grade prize! The preservation made a common find uncommonly cool. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshunter Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 The P. hancockensis, very nice, there is some similarity with the Eocene echinoid Oligopygus haldemani. The spider get together was a awesome shot, never witnessed anything like that-----Tom Grow Old Kicking And Screaming !!"Don't Tread On Me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW9090 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Nice report, Dan, as always. With some work, most of those vertebrae should be identifiable. Also, in your "kiddie pile", two specimens to the left of the scale coin and down slightly, looks like a fragment of a deer astragalus. Very nice color on the Bison tooth. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masonboro37 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Great report and all the pictures are wonderful! Sure do love all the echinoid's. The area such is plentiful in bone, how exciting that must have been. The grouping of Daddy Long Leg Spider's does not give me the chills, it's the tiny spiders with beady eye's around here. Thanks for taking us on your trip through your awesome post! Process of identification "mistakes create wisdom". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
