Fossils

[bone2stone]

I have been picking up fossils all my life. Can't remember the first specimen brought home but I still drag that stuff home. To my wifes regrets she lets me bring some in the house.
Heres a few.

Those are cool.I've only found 1 ammonite in SW Arkansas and ended up breaking it before I get it home.I carried that thing for miles up and down a creek.When it got time to leave, I heard a car coming and tried to jump the fence because I didmt want anybody knowing I was hunting that creek.My shoe caught on the wire and I let go of the fossil.When it hit, it broke into lots of little pieces.

Very nice pieces, Bone2stone... I particularly like the starfish... I hunt both Sulfur Rivers, which are mostly lower cretaceous, and have seen similar specimens, except for the starfish... We don't find many echinoids or crustaceans any more either... Enjoyed the pics very much... Thank you for showing...

Dude the Sulphur rivers are both upper Cretaceous.
Used to hunt there when the gittin was GOOOOOOD! 70s-80s.
You won't find lower cretaceous till you get near Denton Ft Worth line in a north south direction.

Wow man, I'd love to find an ammonite like that someday. Very cool.

Great fossils, I am in lower, maybe you know what that fossil is I just listed.
cause it isn't in any of my books

[bar2kl]

Bone2stone... I stand corrected... thanks for pointing that out... Meant to say 'Late'... Don't know why I said 'Lower'...

You listed some fossils?
Where?

amusing rock, what am I

Probably tunnels or water pressure running through it. Quick look makes it look toadlike. Or possibly slightly squished toad. This whole area was ocean bottom, thus numerous possibilities.

You have clear near perfect specimens. Very nice.

Thanks, Although the starfish are not "perfect" I do have some of the arms that are not in the picture. I sold most of them at a fossil show in Texas. When I first found them, I found a "Lens" filled with about 400 of them, with three different species mixed together.
If I could get my &*%# camera to co-operate I would post some more recent pics. I figue I will have to give up and get another when I get the cash.

I have posted on your, what am I?
It appears you have a good understanding on your geofact formation.
The water tunnel concept is most likely what you have there. Not unique but it is unusual.
