This specimen of comptonaster was found in Coppell Texas by a friend of mine
and we were informed that it had not been identified in the United states.
I was given the honor of naming it (Coppellaster) Adamsi.
Found in the Britton member of the eagleford formation
about 70 million years old.

Man it looks new and to think that it's 70 million years old very impressive

In it's original condition it was on the stoney matrix, when he found it.
When we tried to get it identified it spent four years going from hand to hand state to state and over seas before a professor in France had told us that he found an identifying specimen similar to the one Steve had found.
The one he had was identified as Comptonaster, it was just small fragments. It was found in a upper cretaceous deposit in France.
The specimen you see displayed has had some restoration. When found it was only 80% complete.
The woman, who restored it to it's present condition, has a remarkable talent for creating the missing pieces. The professor, who identified it, when Steve showed it to him he at first thought Steve had found another.
I will ask Steve for her name maybe someone out there has a nice specimen, of something, that needs some restoration.

I will continue to post some of my stuff from time to time just to show how diverse the area I live in is. Lot's of fossils and lots of places to look.
Lot's of stories about finding, diggin, friends, special stuff, donations....... I just have been doing it a very long time.
I also do most of the identification for our treasure group Lone Star Treasure Club.
I've rambled long enough for now.
I will post something else again soon.

Have a good day
