Uncle Siphuncle Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 My friend Richard and I worked an exposure of Escondido limestone for 3 hours yesterday and took 31 Sphenodiscus ammonites plus one ribbed ammonite (Coahuilites?) and one Eutrephoceras nautiloid in addition to some cool gastropods. From there the Corsicana formation gave up 3 nice Dakoticancer crab carapaces, lots of Hemiaster bexari echinoids, a dozen shark and fish teeth, one Eutrephoceras nautiloid, one Pachydiscus ammonite, and one Linthia echinoid. Not bad for a day that was over by 4. Pics in my June report...... Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 June report? Do we have to wait 'til Halloween to see it? Throw us a bone.... The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Sheesh, your only up to April... two more months to wait? Sounds like Bait and switch to me! -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...

MikeD Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I can never open your trip reports. So Im always wondering. Dang!!!RB They are PDF files, so you will need Adobe Reader if you don't already have it, available free at www.adobe.com. If you have trouble opening them online, then go to the trip reports page, right click on the file name and save it to your PC (which will take a little while), then you will probably have a lot better luck opening them from your hard drive. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 RB has a pretty slow connection, living out in the wilderness like he does. Transmitting large digital files via smoke-signal takes a lot of patience...

MikeD Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I had the same problem when I used to have dial-up. Big files and fancy pages would not open very well. So downloading the file first (even though it takes several minutes) will be his best option for viewing them. Ah, the wilderness. Everytime I visit it, I wonder what am I doing in the city?
