Terlingua Creek :
This begins where Terlingua Creek and Alamo Creek converge. The fossils in the area include giant clam, oyster shell, ammonites, hermites, and many other shellfish. The rocks vary from fluorite crystals to petrified wood.
The length of the trip depends on the amount of time taken in rock-hounding. The hike to the fossil area is very easy but traverses the creek bed that is filled with many rocks. Good walking shoes and a canteen for water are recommended. We will visit an ammonite graveyard on the banks overlooking Terlingua Creek.
Comanche Creek:
Comanche Creek is located in the Lajitas area and the hike into the area is all via creek bed so wear heavy soled shoes. Most of the fossils found in this area are small clam shells and ammonites dating back around 35,000,000 years. This trip also includes a visit to an old candellia wax factory and an old homestead ruin from the late 1900's, as well as an Indian pictograph.
