jpbowden Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Spent the last few weeks following this beach and have figured out the the layer is not at the bottom but the top, at some point the Highway Dept. had pushed the top down to fill in the gullies. But this site became a dead end, they came back and with top soil and cover it and put down this grass mat. So after two weeks of looking I found it another place. I got to get me a Microscope! I found the smallest sharks tooth I have ever seen, the root is gone but the tip is curved but into the stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpbowden Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 What's your take on the stratigraphic sequence now? Still not sure, just found some brachiopods, and very long spines that I thought were for echinoids, but they seemed to have come off the brachiopods? Also, found a very small claw of some sort and will just keep at it. But to tell the truth, it looks more and more like this is tied into Waco, though Waco was in deeper water this is stuff cast up from wave action. Who knows maybe a lagoon.

Shamalama Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I saw the title of your post, then your first two pics and I thought they were the aerial shots of the beach you were on! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
