Uncle Siphuncle Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I've been poking around the Corsicana and Escondido formations (68 and 66 MYA, respectively) lately and thought I'd show some recent preps. First, some Corsicana goodies, starting with an example of a pending new species of Codiopsis echinoid, the first one I've seen in over a year. Grüße, Daniel A.

Uncle Siphuncle Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Now on to the Escondido Formation. Had fun taking my wife on this venue. First, a honkin' big, cool gastropod.

Ludwigia Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The Germans love their Schnecken too...in some cases more than ammonites. Well, I'm just part German, a hybrid due to circumstances so to speak, but I still do love my gastropods. Although that last double is a hummdinger! Ammo & Gastro in one go! Fantastic! Looks like that pending Codiopsis is your avatar now. You must be proud of it. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

PFOOLEY Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Good work Mr. Woehr! Lovin' that Sphenodiscus ...with a beautiful turritella to boot!
