Today I explored two older localities that are very
productive. |
The first location is a road cut that exposes the
Palo Pinto Formation. There are no fossils here. |
|
|
The second location is an exposure of a very fossiliferous section of the
Winchell Limestone. |

The third location exposes the Placid Shale (or
Colony Creek shale). This is a location where I previously found many
large sponges possibly of the genus Heliospongia. The main goal
of this stop was to collect more pieces of the previous sponges. |

The fourth location location is a small but a very fossiliferous locality. |
