Uncle Siphuncle Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 June was a big month. One of my best collecting buddies passed away. But Brent would be proud of the productive collecting that I experienced in his wake: -Pleistocene terrestrial -Pleistocene marine -Lower Cretaceous marine -Upper Cretaceous marine -Ordovician marine Feel free to peruse my photo essay (over 200 pics) on the Brazosport Museum website at the following link: http://bcfas.org/museum/Meander/2013/FOSSIL%20COLLECTING%20REPORT%20June%202013.pdf I wasn't sure about some of the Pleistocene mollusk ID's, but I'd be happy to update the report to include any positive ID's I may have missed.

RichW9090 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 better than 200 pages to scan before a decent bone. Harumph. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foshunter Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Enjoyed your post as usual, thought the Ptychodus mortoni were very interesting. Brent had mentioned that Shawn Hamm was working on P. mortoni, I can see why, yours are very different from what I have classified. There is definitly different sharks or evolution at play in this classification. Have you been privy to any information from Shawn as when new information is available and forth coming. Your tribute to Brent was very nice, there is a bond between friends that was very evident, know he will be missed but never forgotten.----Tom Grow Old Kicking And Screaming !!"Don't Tread On Me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vertman Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Great report and excellent month! I liked the tribute to Brent. But I must comment on the first page or two of the report. Rumors of my back side still being out on a Walnut outcrop are exaggerated (but only slightly)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bone2stone Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Just had to say thanks again, Dan. You have given me another reason to run down my battery in my laptop. Jess B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi Dan, Another great report. I understand wanting to say something extra for a friend who has passed. I liked looking at that Riker mount. That Polyacrodus is a cool tooth. In the Welton and Farish book, they say those have been found only in the Kamp Ranch limestone. It's hard to tell but I think that Cretolamna woodwardi is a Cardabiodon. Some teeth labelled woodwardi are just rather large appendiculata but that one could be the real thing.
