Shamalama Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Welcome to the forum from Philadelphia. Beautiful fossils, are they in a chalk matrix?

Uncle Siphuncle Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I enjoyed seeing your finds as the preservation and fauna are in some ways quite similar to what I see in parts of Texas. Good Maastrichtian exposures are hard to find here, but once found they can be quite spectacular and productive. From this age I've found good exposures of Escondido and Corsicana formations in Texas. Ammonites I've found include Sphenodiscus, Discoscaphites, and several forms of Pachydiscus, some possibly undescribed. I find a few Eutrephoceras nautiloids but Belemnites of this age are extremely rare here. Echinoids include Hemiaster, Proraster, Linthia, Plesiaster, Cardiaster, Rachiosoma, Codiopsis, and Phyllobrissus. The chalks you hunt look very similar to the Pecan Gap and Anacacho formations that I hunt here, which are Campanian. Ammonites I've found include Bostrychoceras, Didymoceras, Placenticeras, Pachydiscus, Glyptoxoceras, Trachyscaphites and rare Solenoceras. We get some nautiloids of this age as well and I'm guessing they are Eutrephoceras. The echinoid genera I've encountered include Cardiaster, Hemiaster, Echinocorys, Phyllobrissus, Hardouinia, Codiopsis, Mecaster, Salenia and perhaps a few others. Shark teeth and crustacean material pop up in both our Maastrichtian and Campanian sediments with systematic searching. Thanks for sharing. Grüße, Daniel A.
