Afield in Oklahoma, part 2
June 27, 2018
Ripple rock. Not from the Morrison, but from the overlying Dakota – Lower Cretaceous.
Now this is from the Morrison. My son, London, spotted this tiny tooth of a Jurassic croc while working in the quarry. That’s my thumb and London’s index finger for scale.
London’s index finger again, pointing at a different Morrison tooth. This one’s from a theropod, still exposed in a sandstone block in one of Stovall’s old quarries from the 1930s.
On a completely different hillside, I spotted this skull, of a modern rodent. Vole, maybe? Not my bailiwick, but if you know who this belongs to, let me know in the comments.
Moonrise – and the end of this post. Catch you in the future.
