erose Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 This last weekend we (Paleo Society of Austin) visited the Yellow Bluff site near Ada. While there we had a discussion regarding the age of the formations present. It appeared to contain Silurian trilobites in the creek and up the slope/exposure a distance and then obviously(?) Devonian fauna near the middle & top. We could not be sure where the Henryhouse, Haragan and Bois d'Arc each ended and began. The collecting was great and a breeze kept things comfortable until the noon sun finally caught up with us. One of our advisors and members, Professor James Sprinkle, UT, was there and was excited to see a few undescribed echinoderms as well. So any insights and other observations would be appreciated as I try to understand this site and fill my flesh out my field notes. I'll get some photos up shortly as well.

vertman Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I am just curious, did you happen to find any vertebrate material on this trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erose Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Nothing by me. Most of the sites were Devonian and older with slim chance of teeth. We did hit a Pennsylvanian location called Tucker's Hill which has produced teeth in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ada and the Arbuckle Mountains area include a wide variety of Paleozoic strata. The shrimp is from an old quarry not far from where we were collecting.

Probably. In some cases there is a question about membership versus the liability coverage we carry thru AFSM. But you could join us for $15 and that would be that. We make other trips up near Dallas/Ft Worth every year as well. The OK trip is usually in May or June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
