For fossil hunters!

Re: For fossil hunters!

All the small fossils were found walking creeks in around the Waco to Whitney area, the big ones (nautilus shells,I think)were found back in the 80's when I worked the oilfields near Big Lake. When roads were being built cliche pits were dug for road base material. Road graders would just push these to the side, all I had to do was drive slow and just pick 'em up. Some would be embedded in the road, so I would have to use my shovel to get them out..made work fun!!!!!!I've got 16 big ones and several smaller, the small ones have the best detail...happy hunting!

Re: For fossil hunters!

The term Nautilus would be the Genus of the species. These are of the species ammonite. I have found specimens of ammonite up to 6 feet in diameter in cretaceous age limestone outcrops in Crane and Pecos Counties, Tx. The fish encasements are quite nice.
