| Today members of the Dallas Paleontological Society
collected fossils from a great locality near Denton, Texas created by
recent construction. The site consists of two massive pits dug for the
foundation of new buildings. The geological formations exposed here are Grayson (higher levels) and Mainstreet (lower levels). The locality exposes both formations because fossils indicative of both are prevalent. |

| The group gathered early in the morning for a group breakfast. After breakfast Roger Farish (the trip leader) gives us directions to the location. | ||

| One pit had water and the other contained less water but a lot of rock piled in it. | ||
