Posted by Callan Bentley

Back to Texas, today. Here’s a cross-sectioned Turitella snail from the Buda Formation limestone:

It’s exposed in a block of rock on the north side of Mt. Cristo Rey.

You can explore these GigaPanned blocks of the Buda in search of your own Turitella… How many can you find?
