[Ansteorra] Elfsea

[Rhonda Hays]

Some time ago, there was a discussion on our local list about traditions.  I
recall from that one of the reasons why Elfsea is so named is because Fort
Worth some of the surrounding areas of Tarrant county sit on what was once
under water.  Fossil Creek is an example of what you can dig up around here.
We live in NE Parker County, next to Tarrant and have a "drop off" which
runs the length of our six acres.  We have found all sorts of shells, from
the small ones to some rather large (6" wide") ones, clearly all from under
the water.

Our overly large ponds we like to call lakes are mostly the result of the
Corps of Engineers dealing with the Trinity River, and one rather flood
prone creek.

Where the "Elf" part of that came in, I don't recall.

in service,
