Austin, Tx over the Holiday

[ohio]

I visited my younger brother in Austin over the holiday. I took an couple of hours to look at a few road cuts around town. The chalky marl was full of oysters and snails. Some of the gastropods were larger than a man's fist. I found these urchins as well. I wish I would have had more time. Good luck out there.

Man I just realized how lousy that pic was. I took it with my cell (which usually does alright). I will try to get another up. If anyone lives or will be in that area and is curious as to where I found them PM me.

Pick, thanks man. Here is another pic of one of those echinoids next to a small modern day urchin.
