squali Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks Dan Its great to see Campanian echi's. Sea level cycles here in N.J. played havoc on a lot of the invert material It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators.

Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 most of the campanian echs i find in tx are squashed hemiasters. i've picked up the occasional echinocorys, petalobrissus, salenia, mecaster, rachiosoma and codiopsis, but this is my first holectypoid of this age.

Shamalama Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Nice one! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Thompson Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I don't believe it is a Coenholectypus, instead I believe it is a Lanieria uvaldana. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
