Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Tadpole shrimp is the common name. We use to play with them when they hatched out in the many playa lakes in northwest Texas. Ducks and Sandhills cranes love em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) It is! We have thousands of fossilized critters, trilobites and others, in the rocks in the canyons east of Logan Utah, where I used to live. Also entire ledges and banks of fossilized sea shells, mostly quite small, up there as well, all around 7,000-9,000 feet altitude. Over south east near Vernal they have bigger fossils of Jurassic Park size dinosaurs. At one time all of that area was under water, known as Lake Bonneville, a huge inland sea. The Great Salt Lake and some smaller lakes are remnants of that. GSL has only one form of sea life called brine shrimp, because of the salt content. All of that ancient life and I've never seen any of it alive. Oldest living animal I ever saw was my high school history teacher.

Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 They have them on Amazon, too. When you get them, you might as well get a Sea Monkey set too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
