Roger Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Sunday, Lance, Roz and I went Eopachydiscus ammonite hunting at a suspected lower Duck Creek Formation exposure SW of Fort Worth. We didn't have to wait long - Lance bagged a huge specimen: followed by Roz a bit later: All in all we found several but some did not meet the state mandate size limit of 8" therefore were released back into the formation. At the end of the day - here was our stringer btw - I got a nibble on an Idiohamites fremonti but could not land an entire specimen. Will have to go back for that one!

Oh-Man Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Nice hauls folks! And I know right where that Valero is, too... in the middle of an ice storm! Great pix, too. Love to see Roz and Lance in "live action" shots! What is geology? "Rocks for Jocks!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 EOWOW! Great finds. You could use one as a spare if you got a flat on the way home! The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanceH Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Ah, far out man.........(Tommy Chong inflection intended) I remember once going to a park in Dallas to explore a creek next to it. There was this skinny old hippy looking dude standing next to his rather nice sports car enjoying the sun. I had my rock hammer in hand and struck up a brief conversation about being a fossil hunter and my plans. I asked if he knew of any rock outcrops along the creek and that I was quote "hunting for ammonites" in the creek. This guy sounded like (and looked like) like Tommy Chong and answered "Well whata ya do? Hit 'em over the head?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 A couple years ago a buddy and I hit a remote stretch of Texoma shoreline with my little jon boat and got into the Eos. We ended up putting 12 in the boat including my prized 90 pounder. When we headed into the chop though, we began taking on lots of water. In the end I made Robert jump out and head for the shoreline, cuz I had no interest in sinking the boat or jettisoning ammonites.....the 7 mile run back to the truck went a lot better from that point forward.
