Limestone quarry, Albany, Texas
April 14, 2007


The is a Dallas Paleontological Society field trip to a quarry in a Limestone quarry of lower Permian period (c. 260 mya).   This field trip was very challenging (as advertised) but great fun.   The quarry hosts were very generous and let us use their portable rock cutting saws and also gave us a FREE lunch.    Adam found a tetrapod (4 legged animal) vertebra in rock.  The quarry exposes the Lueders Limestone.
