Ammonites Galore! Saturday, March 26th, 9 am. This trip is an open trip, children welcome.

If you have a hammer, chisel and muscles there is an ammonite waiting for you. Meet in the Valley View town square at 9 am. We will be hunting the Duck Creek formation, Lower Cretaceous. Finds will include Eopachydiscus, Mortoniceras and Ideohamites, and Elobiceras. Also, though few, Holaster and Macraster echinoids. Like most Texas water ways a good rain will improve the possibilities.

Directions: Hwy 35 North. Valley View is about 18 miles north of Denton, take the exit for 922. a left will lead you to Valley Views ‘town square.’ A big thank you to Bob Williams, coleader, who found and arranged with land owners for us to explore this site.
