Today Me and Roz hunted some creeks that cut into the Fort Worth formation. At the first stop you can see the alternating limestone/shale layers typical of the Fort Worth formation as they form shelves in the creek. | ||

At another stop a little further east and higher stratigraphically. Here we start to see the typical Fort Worth formation fossils. | ||
Macraster echinoids: |

Also found was a Nautilus (no picture) | |
At the last stop a little further east and higher stratigraphically we are leaving the Fort Worth formation and entering Denton formation. | ||
Here at water level you can actually see the Fort Worth
limestone dip to the southeast. |
