| This is a Dallas Paleontological Society field trip to Oliver Creek
west of Justin, Texas. This creek runs through the Goodland
formation which is abundant in large Oxytropidoceras ammonites,
smaller Engonoceras ammonites, "heart urchins", clams, and the
occasional fancy urchin, shark tooth, and nautiloid. Our field trip
leader was Roger Farish. Pictures are taken by Lance, Roz, and
Carolyn. Thanks Roz and Carolyn!! After the Oliver Creek field trip Me, Roz, Keith ,and Mike did some more hunting: Click Here |
