Today Me and Roz hunted an unexpected geologic lens (or
anticline) of Glen Rose limestone outcropping in the Paluxy sandstone on
the eastern border of Parker County, Texas. The unusual thing is
that normally the Glen Rose would not be seen that far east where the
Paluxy dominates, normally it outcrops in the southwest part of Parker
county. |
Here is the outcrop of Glen Rose limestone. Here we
found Cassiope branneri gastropods normally associated with the
Glen Rose formation. These are preserved as very detailed calcite
replaced shells. |
