Welcome to Texas! I used to live in Denton TX and have hunted many ammos at Texoma you just have to bring a hammer and chisel if you want big unwatherd mortinocearas, oxytropidocearas and cymatroceares take them home and airscribe detail. 👍on the duck creek formation. Grayson formation in Denton i found mariella turritillus 12 inches x 4 inches. I have about 7 fully preped you should see them. I live in Kanab uthah now and am so disappointed with fossil hunting here or in AZ. I don't know why everything is so small here. Did you find any nice echinoides? Or poderosa oysters big as your hand? Wish you could see my collection of fully preped north Texas fossils. Love your video. I just wish there was a way to contact you.

You look like your having fun. I love hunting ammonites, but i am from north Texas and am used to finding and preping ammonites 4 to 16 inch oysters as big as your hand. Is there anything bigger in utah? Any heteromorphs? Biggest ammonite i ever found was the size of one of those lame spair tiers.

Quotes Hedberg and is a rockhounder? I’m in Texas, new to rock hounding. My husband found a light green rock with perfect tiny pyrite cubes in it…I have no idea what it is but I’m obsessed and looking for friends in the area to look with!

Commenting a little late, but I think you might have answered a mystery I've had for years now. I grew up in Sylvania Ohio where some of the best Devonian fossils could be found anywhere! They readily separated from the shale and the preservation was remarkable. I found one brachiopod the size of a medium sized bead with excellent detail. The fossil was different than any others I'd seen and was pyritized. I think you just explained it to me. THANKS !!

Those “oysters” you found in Austin aren’t oysters, they’re called gryphea or “devil’s toenails”. In north Texas we get even bigger ones.
@randyblood8966
@randyblood8966 10 ай бұрын
Oyster is just a common name for these types of mollusks much in the same way "devil's toenails" is. The difference being "devil's toenails" is applied based on a specific shape of the oyster. Many in the UK are also referred to as such. Its the same as how the scallop Nodipecten nodosus is referred to as a "lion's paw". Indeed, you are correct, Gryphea is a formal genera of extinct oyster (and commonly called Devil's toenails!)

Enjoyed your post! Particularly when you went to Del Rio. I have published several papers on the section of US90 towards the Val Verde county line over many years, particularly the Eagle Ford section. If you are interested in field guide and GCAGS papers, contact me at University of Louisiana geology. Brian Lock

I'm sure you're aware of the increased interest in gold along with the price increase... $2000 per oz! Any way we could get you to comment on the incidences of pyrite you talk of here, vs. the iron & iron pyrites associated with gold deposits? Thank you sir, I do realize your time is fleeting as all humanoid's time is! You just mentioned rectum joke, bahahahah

There was a lull, **DO NOT SAY INLAND SEA** still connected to the Pacific these ammonites and other fossils bred to insane numbers sheltered from the main expanse of the ocean. Some say the Missoula/Bonneville etc. floods were responsible for pushing this water somewhere else. Is there a specific map of beds that have all been associated? I could use this data if you want to shove my face into some pages!

Those were great finds. Did you find bigger ones? Yours are very small and easier to show to people that like these kinds beach of goodies, or landscapes treasures Lol😅. 😊 I ❤ the beaches I've have gone to in my 60+ years. I am looking for agates, petrified wood, she'll, and that beach glass. All are amazing finds.

It's entirely possible. When the proto-North Atlantic opened the rift ripped the supercontinent in half. As a result, there are very similar deposits on either side of the present-day Atlantic!
