Found this on a sandbar of the lower Colorado river in Southeast Texas. Found many other fossils but nothing that resembles this.

Found this little artiodactyl tooth on one of my trips to the Colorado River near Wharton, Texas about a month ago and have had some trouble getting a concrete ID. Any teeth other than bison or horse are basically impossible to find in the Brazos and so I'm way out of my depth with this one. I'm assuming it's too small to be camelid and the pictures I've seen that most closely resemble it are of antilocaprid teeth. This one must be an m3, the third lobe is just broken off (which you can see pretty clearly in the third and the fifth pictures). The occlusal surface is 1.5 cm across but obviously

Hi All, so I had heard about fossilized coral located in the Western Arizona desert near the Colorado River. So we went out there and did some rock prospecting ourselves. The location is La Paz, County south of Parker, Arizona. Namely, the terminal moraine-like hills about 10 miles south-east of Parker, Arizona beyond the Colorado River Indian Reservation. We found a ton of very interesting sponge or coral-like rocks on top of these hills. So this is consistent with a few other reports online about this. First, let me describe this location as it’s somewhat fascinating if you p

Found these along the Colorado River near El Campo, Texas. MY dad and I think it is a tooth of some sort. We have found mammoth and mastodon teeth here. Let me know what you all think it is as we cannot decide. Thanks!

This is an isolated find, mixed in a gravel pediment perched above the Colorado River. So I cannot even guess what formation it was derived from. The first photo looks like the anchor to bedrock. The third photo is the top view.

Fossil ID - Colorado River, TX (+ petrified wood bonus pics)
FlounderStomper posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello all, I recently discovered some awesome petrified wood in some large landscape river rock near my office. I have always collected petrified wood since I was a kid and this peaked my interest again. In an attempt to find out more about the wood, I found out that the rock was taken from the Colorado River near La Grange, TX. As I was collecting more specimens, I came across this which appears to be fossilized bone. It is much lighter than what a rock that size would be and has many odd features that seem to resemble bone. Can you guys offer some knowledge on whether you think t
