2 Feb 2020 - Explored some old and new areas in Young County, Texas.
This is a spot way out in the county. I collected many
Heliospongia sp. sponges which were heavily fragmented but mostly
complete. |
This is a Placid Shale locality in Jack County I explored the week before
on 26 Jan 2020. I came back to collect
more of the Heliospongia sponges. |
