I may be embarrassing myself here, but I can only learn if I ask. :-) I found a piece in the sandy gravel of South Texas that looks similar to dugong rib examples I've seen on the forum. While trying to identify it, I found an article online from October of 2020 that indicates people have found dugong fossils in Texas, but it seems like it's incredibly rare. I would think it may be especially unusual to find any this far inland. (Around Waller County, TX). But I do know that so far I've found a lot of pleistocene fauna fossils here that generally seem similar to what people find in the Peace River. So I figured I'll post it and see how off base I am. Dugong rib? Oddly rounded petrified wood? Weird black rock? It would be great to know. One broken end does seem to have 'growth rings' I've seen discussed in other parts. I'll put that picture first. But I may need to take a picture in full sunlight to really highlight it. @digit @Shellseeker Thanks! --Brandy
