  3. Less than a week before #Christmas , so out #fossil hunting during the only warm day of the week.
    Location: #MineralWellsFossilPark #MineralWells ( #PaloPinto county) Texas.
    #Pennsylvanian ( #Carboniferous ) reef deposit.

    Lots of #crinoids and #brachiopods as usual. Quite a few #sponges and large stick #bryozoa (alas no veil bryozoa this time), and 3 distinct species of #gastropod.
