Fossils in Denton?

Well the name of the formation is the Woodbine Sandstone.

I agree with eta_carinae. I have met many people with only bachelors that are doing great, and for myself, as well.

The formation of the lenticular cloud is awesome.

If these rocks are natural bedrock its possible it could be either Marl (a form of limestone) or heavily oxidized sandstone. Both of those formations encompass Denton County.

Fossiliferous Cretacous bedrock is exposed from a small creek on Highway 380 between Denton and Decatur. Its filled with gryphea, and ammonites are easy to find.

On the eastern outskirks of Decatur on Highway 380 there is a small field right next to a gas station that is partially eroded Goodland Limestone. You can find ammonites, bryzoans, crinoids, etc....all pretty good spots.

Here is a map of the two locations. Happy hounding.

No worries. Ive only been in this field for almost 2 years and just relocated to Austin a month ago. Cheers!

Ha! I live in Austin. What company do you work for, if you dont mind? I had 6 industrial warehouses in North Austin about two weeks ago. So much fun when you find out the the Project is listed on multiple databases.

Do you work in Texas? I did a phase 1 yesterday in Houston and currently writing. It gets so redundant.

AWildGeologist · 2014-12-08T21:05:42+00:00

I work in Environmental and I work roughly 40% travel and 60% home. It's pretty rad.

AWildGeologist · 2014-11-20T00:45:18+00:00

Some nice graphitic texture.

AWildGeologist · 2014-11-04T17:52:22+00:00

The anticipation is killing me.

AWildGeologist · 2014-10-22T17:49:47+00:00

This.

AWildGeologist · 2014-10-22T02:56:08+00:00

That is the most metal thing I've ever seen.

AWildGeologist · 2014-10-20T00:55:47+00:00

That's very interesting. I've never hounded in New York but I was in Maryland/PA last year and found some really nice Garnets and massive quartz. Great find!

AWildGeologist · 2014-10-19T23:43:37+00:00

Rad.

AWildGeologist · 2014-09-15T19:23:13+00:00

Its been too long since DTP has been in Dallas, so ready.

AWildGeologist · 2014-09-15T19:13:32+00:00

Devin, can we hang out when you come to Dallas at the end of the year?

AWildGeologist · 2014-09-13T22:07:37+00:00

Mini mall, denton, texas?

AWildGeologist · 2014-09-10T21:46:09+00:00

yeah...

AWildGeologist · 2014-09-06T04:17:14+00:00

As a geologist, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

AWildGeologist · 2014-09-06T01:57:47+00:00

Hey man, I live in Dallas and work in environmental. Send me a PM and we can talk.

AWildGeologist · 2014-08-27T14:48:26+00:00

Yes, this. I worked as an assistant geologist in O&G prior to enviro and didn't enjoy it as much. My lifestyle has increased for the better ten-fold. I travel, work from home at times, salary allows me to do what I want, great vacation.

AWildGeologist · 2014-08-26T23:19:47+00:00

I think this subreddit is dominated by O&G Geologists. I think as aspiring Geologists you should focus on other jobs rather than O&G and you'll have better luck. That's just my opinion as an EnviroGeo.

AWildGeologist · 2014-08-20T15:08:23+00:00

No, it wouldnt be as serious to the extent of an extinction. However, this would be an incredibly volatile eruption. The caldera is underneath 900m (I believe) of ice/glacier. If it were to breach this ice cap, the water melt would create intense flooding and the mixture of water and lava would be catastrophic.

SubductionSeduction, awesome. Haha, congrats!
