| Today Me and Roz hit an old hunting spot and a couple new spots. | ||
| 1st stop was an old spot that's been dubbed the "Mansfield pit". This was an awesome Eagle Ford formation collecting site until new construction leveled the best area which was a ridge running along the edge of the pit. Hopefully the leveled area will start producing some as it erodes. | ||
| Inoceramus shell |
Old picture of the fossiliferous exposure now gone. |
|
| 2nd stop was a deep drainage area just north of the first stop. Here is exposed a portion of the Woodbine formation. | ||
| Oyster shell conglomerate |

| 3rd stop was a mixed formation location closer to Fort Worth. The section next to the creek maybe Weno formation. | ||
