We started our trip to a pit near Mineral Wells, TX | The pit is famous for crinoid stems (fossilized stems of plants) | Back in 1980 I had a crinoid ankle bracelet made in Camp Grady Spruce at Possium Kingdom Lake. The shores were littered with them. Wore it until it rotted in late December that year! |
