R_Case Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm off till Monday. Are there any areas in North Texas (DFW area) with trilobites? Got the itch to go hunting. If not I will brave the heat at NSF. It gets bad when the wind is not moving done there. "No matter where you go, there you are!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreekCrawler Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well hello Randy,If you want to brave the heat I am supposedly hunting the Cretaceous with another member on Saturday morning for a few hours.If you want Trilos go West young man! You have to hit the Pennsylvanian for those. I'll PM you a few places for Trilo's that I know of if you would like.Glad to hear from you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R_Case Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Has anyone been to Black Cat Mountain in Ok? I heard a lot of Trilo's can be found there. Not to far from here, 1.5 to 2 hour drive. "No matter where you go, there you are!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bowen Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 We're planning on going to Sherman for some shark teeth hunting Saturday morning. We're leaving at the insane hour of 0600 !! lol. That's what time I get to work normally so I guess it's not that terrible. Much rather get up that early to hunt teeth, than get kicked in them. Never been to black cat Mt, but I'd be willing to drive up there for some trilos sometime. We should make a Texas hunting calandar. Dave Bowen Collin County, Texas.

You might ought to watch the weather for up here for Friday night into Sat. morning. I watched it at 6 pm tonight and they are calling for a pretty heavy storm rolling through up here around 2:30 or 3 am Sat morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't talked to Bob in a few months now , but he was letting anyone come up and hunt [last time we were up he had 20 books left , he might be out of them by now].

We need rain, buckets and buckets of rain to wash out some nice new shiny fossils (to hell with the lawn). But the best part is they is predicting a whopping 20% chance of rain down here in Austin and it's only going to be 96 instead of 106! Gotta dig out a sweater.

Traviscounty Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Just talked to Barefoot. Her and Paleo are on their way to POC. It's gotta be just a trickle?? As far as rain forecasts go, I wouldn't put too much stock into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jax Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 The only thing about Black cat mnt trilos, is they require alot of prep. They usally crack them, the glue them back, and scribe them out, then air blast them to get the rest of the limestone off. I have a few pieces from there that I have attemped to prep, and its not easy. BUT If we are all going, count me in. but lets pick a cooler time.... Im hoping to hit POC with you guys on sat if work doesnt call..... If it rains, we just wear our swim suits and dig the deeper gravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabetts Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Maybe everyone should try and plan a trip for this fall sometime. Oct. has cooled enough so we could spend the day and not get heat stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSRaddict_1 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Ditto! I wanna go! When we get ready to go to BCM I will post up on the forum a few days in advance , those that want to go can . Yeah cooler weather would be nice , hot on the mountain during the summer . You can surface hunt and find some specimens , but obviously not as good as what is found in the matrix .
