Elm Fork, Dallas
A stretch of the Elm Fork of the Trinity River between
Carpenter Freeway and US-35 is a good hunting place during
low water intervals. Along the the lower banks and in
the river bed are Upper Cretaceous Shales and Marl beds
with surprisingly well preserved ammonites, pelecypods
and other period fossils.

Brazos River at Highway 4 Intersection, Palo Pinto
Co.
Below and North of the highway 4 bridge crossing the
Brazos (highway between Palo Pinto and Graford) you can find crinoid
stems in sand and gravel beds. Probably in any gravel bed beneath any
outcrop area on the Brazos especially where there are shaly or marl
zones in the above rocks. If you are canoeing, keep your eyes open for
possible interesting areas. Who knows what you might find. |
