I found this the last weekend of November, 2017 in Arlington Texas. It was in an area that is marked Woodbine, but Grayson formation fossils are mixed in. So, I’m not sure which it is from. It was found in a tan crumbly soft clay like soil. I sat down to try to ID it, but it seems pretty worn down. So I am not sure it is even identifiable. It is about 14 cm in diameter and has a whorl breadth of 30 mm and whorl height of 60 mm. There appear to be 2 rows of tubercles. One on the interior edge of the whorl. There are 6 tubercles in this row. The 2nd row runs down the middle of the whorl. Those in the middle are so worn down some are missing and I’m unable to determine the tubercle count, but I can count 10 tubercles within the same space of 3.5 tubercles on the inner edge. I tend to think there should be a 3rd row of tubercles on the outer edge, but if there is a third row it is worn off. This was taken at an angle so you could see the tubercles better. They’re very faint bumps. The tubercles in the center are most noticible, but still pretty worn. If anyone can point me in the right direction on ID I’d appreciate it. @BobWill and @Uncle Siphuncle and @bone2stone
