BobWill Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Oh I know the quarry you're talking about, Polly has been working on the managers to get us in there but it's unlikely. Thanks for getting that gate open, it saves us a climb getting into the borrow area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katfish61 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Wow Ryan, those are some great finds. Would love to be able to meet with some of y'all again out there!! Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanNREMTP Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I would too. Sadly I won't be able to attend the DPS trip up there this month. I have another event planned for that day. I do intend to go to the others in Midlothian if possible. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceH Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) The walk to the site is more like a 1/2 mile. If you can bring a bicycle that would be easier going. Along the south end between the trail and and where it drops off into the lake is the remains of a Myalina oyster reef.

hashemdbouk Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Good finds Ryan! I just started sorting out my finds and taking some pictures myself, I will post them soon. Thanks to you and jeepinthemud for coming out! Glad you guys had some good finds at lake Jacksboro! I had a bit of a misadventure on the way back, one of my tires blew out, so between that and the ride back, it was good that I got an early start back home! Hope to see you soon on another trip I'll try to plan a Waco trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWill Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Also look at Knightites (Cymatospira) which shows up as a possible synonym. If you compare Knightites with Patellostium on this page http://imgur.com/a/eilm4 the Knightites seems more narrow than the more globular Patellostium. They are otherwise very similar. The odd thing about Ryan's sample is how the transverse plications are staggered at the slit band instead of lined up like mine and others. I wonder if that occurs with maturity or just randomly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nenando Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Fantastic I think! I've recently hit Post Oak creek and came away with my first shark tooth. Never been to Mineral Wells but off tomorrow. Good Lord willin and the creek down rise, I'll make my first trip there tomorrow. Anyone else heading out there tomorrow?

hashemdbouk Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) here are some of the fossils (the non-crinoid stuff) that I found at mineral wells. Identification tips would be much appreciated! Edited September 27, 2014 by hashemdbouk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWill Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I believe you got the IDs right except the ones you labeled bivalve are brachiopods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
