MikeD Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Went on a short hunt this past weekend in the "big country" as they call it in that part of Texas (near Abilene). I have included some in situ photos. Will post more as I sort out everything and photograph it. 1 through 4 are my at first stop, the rest are at my second (and more productive) stop further west at a larger road cut. Haven't really ID'ed anything yet. Appear to have some type of ammonite related items. I think this area is Permian, but some Pennsylvanian may be exposed. 3 and 9 kind look like Straparollus that I have collect in the Penn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 OK, I ran out of space for the rest. Here are a few more. Not sure what number 1 is is this post and number 6 in he previous post. I found a few of them. I believe number 8 above is a cross section of the same. Some of them still have some of the shell material around them while others appear as casts.

Auspex Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Not only are those sites quite fossiliferous, but there are quarters everywhere! Seriously though, thanks for the site and in-situ shots.
