AeroMike Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Nice finds, a day out looking is better then a day working. That is unless your job is to look for fossils LOL " This comment brought to you by the semi-famous AeroMike" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanceH Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 OK, lemme try to guess this one..... Southeast Fort Worth + light colored shale + Leptostyrax tooth + vert + Phymosoma ech (?) + Sqaulicorax tooth = Grayson formation. Right? Is the last thing a crab claw perhaps? Oh, nice finds by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seldom Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Lance you spending to much time out side you look at dirt and know where its at TOO COOL But I think its that lot at 11328 Bentwood RD Nice finds Galveston Island 32 miles long 2 miles wide 134 bars 23 liquor stores any questions?

NSRaddict_1 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks , we try ! Well the color of the Material was gray , with chalky white overburden . The layer was exposed because of being dug for a pit , that is about all I can say . There were lots of indicator fossils , Echs , Gastropods , etc .... Nice to find Shark's teeth in Fort Worth , they are there and can be found , but not by the hand fulls . Seldom , close , but you are way cold , I think if you were able to smell and taste them you could pin point the locale . Crab Claw ? Maybe but I have doubts , I picked it up because it did appear rather unusual . Hunting fossils is fun , but discovering is better ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 But I think its that lot at 11328 Bentwood RD Maybe reworked from the lot next door?

Lance , the Crab Claw looking piece I don't think is , it has a look about it that suggest that it was a concretion that took on a form of a turritella coil negative facet . I finally found our copy of "A Field Guide to Fossils of Texas" by Charles E. Finsley (wife had it covered up) , it helps as a small reference book .
