Complete noob wanting general identification/information/comments?
Baybeh posted a topic in Fossil ID
So I'm sure nothing here is anything great or spectacular, I just decided I want to know a little about these things I've collected, mostly in my/friends backyards in DFW area. They are all on 12" pavers for size reference. I have a few bonus pieces of fossilized wood (and I'm not sure about the completely black pieces.. but very curious), and a couple of rocks thrown in for extra lol- 5 replies

Unidentified bone fragment from the Eagle Ford-Austin chalk transition zone
Gcurtis45 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello all, I need some help with the ID on this bit of bone I found this evening in the Kef-Kau transition zone off the near the Denton-Collin County border, If anyone has ever hinted this zone/area you know that it's full off sharks' teeth, vertebra and plenty of bone fragments like fish jaws, this is the first piece of simi recognizable bone I've found in a good while that I have no idea on what to ID it as. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.- 4 replies

New to this platform and web forums in general (other than discord). But uh- i was at Lake Ray Roberts beach yesterday and found this strangely shaped rock in the water that i think might be a sponge or coral due to the abnormal tiny holes in it. I’m no paleontologist but i know that the area used to be underwater, so it would make sense. If anyone can identify these photos, it would be a huge favor (and if you have discord i might draw your fav dino as a reward-) (btw, the fossil’s about 3/4ths the size of my hand, and i’m 5’11.)

Where to donate fossils in DFW?
TylerD posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
Are there any recommendations on where I can donate large quantities of common fossils in the DFW area of Texas? I mostly have ammonites and echinoids and, while they're quite common, I don't want them to all go to waste. The Fort Worth Zoo has a new "Texas Nature Traders" that acts as a museum where trade in nature items, such as fossils, from Texas in exchange for other items traded in. The only problem is that they limit to 4 items, with a collection of 5 similar items counting as 1 item. I'll contact my old elementary teacher and see if she, or any other teachers there, would like any for their classrooms. Any other suggestions would be wonderful.- 2 replies
