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

I've stumbled upon several hundreds of these fossils of I believe limestone formation. I really don't know a whole lot about fossils. Just what I've been reading online. Can I get a time period of what y'all think these may be from. Found in East Texas.

Please Need Help Identifying
-
Found this tooth/spike/claw/antler in Van Zandt county Texas. It was found amongst petrified wood similar in color. The piece is of similar feel and weight as petrified wood. The petrified wood context is of the Wilcox Group (Eocene). Attached are pictures for identification. Anyone have any idea what this is?

I've made two posts recently with requests to help id white rocks that were suggested as possibly bivalve. I've been finding rocks like these in the same places as the white ones. They caught my eye because they looked like they had been painted. Up close, the one in posting has a lot going on, but different than the others. It may just be a rock. Help is greatly appreciated

Hi all. Back again with a couple of items, which hopefully is more straightforward and recognizable than the previous items I've submitted. Here are some:
-
I dug up a log in my backyard, I would love to know if it is petrified wood.

I'm quite new to the forum and not entirely sure whether to I'm posting in the right place or in the right way, but hopefully this will be well received. On what I believe to be the Catahoula formation (this may be wrong, I'm quite an amateur still), on the border between Jasper and Sabine county in deep east Texas, on the bank of a sandy creek, we found what I believe to be the root ball of a tree, but I still need an ID. Furthermore, while petrified wood is commonplace in east Texas, I've never seen anything like this. Is it a unique find? Here are some pictures below: And some closer pictures, for detail: On this next picture, the angle is a top view of what seems to be part of the "broken off" part - my hunch is that those little dots are where the tubes of xylum in the plant fossilized. and one last photo of some more detail on the side of the fossil: I'll gladly eat up any and all information that anyone can provide, whether it be an ID, age, unique features, fun facts, etc.! Hopefully I put this in the right place!

Fun North Sulphur River fossil hunt in the normally picked over area at Ladonia TX. My hunting buddy found some great items also.

I hunt the North Sulphur River on a regular basis which is 1 1/2 hr from Tyler to the closest bridge and love it but I would like to try new places. Is there anywhere else within a 2 hr drive from Tyler TX to fossil hunt? Any help is appreciated.

Hey Y'all, I'm a new member from the San Antonio, Texas area. I currently attend a University in East Texas, and in my spare time I try to get out and scour the land. I have done lots of fossil hunting around the San Antonio area, but find myself very interested in searching new areas up and around the DFW area. I plan to share and upload pictures of my collection here in the next few days. Looking forward to meeting and talking to new members. Thanks, Walk

Fairly new fossil & arrowhead hunter. I mainly hunt the North Sulphur River in East Texas. So far I've found Mosasaur teeth, Mastodon tooth enamel, Exogyra by the carload, arrowheads, Mosasaur paddle bones, Baculites of all colors and sizes among other cool fossils. I'm always up for a good weekday hunt while I'm home from offshore if anyone is interested in going.

I found this fossil outside of Henderson, Texas. I have not been able to identify and would sincerely appreciate any help toward that end. I call it my patella, since that is the closest in shape and size that my fossil resembles.

Amateur fossil hunter. Live in North East Texas, Upshur County very near Camp County, and I found these specimens on our farm, in various places, not all together. From what I've read, this area is Cenozoic > Eocene. I'm noticing some similarities between them, but being a novice, have no idea the orientation they would be positioned on the animal. If I did, I could google lateral view, medial, or caudal view etc, and have a CHANCE of identifying them. But, I don't, so have the proverbial needle in a haystack here The smallest specimen is roughly 3/4" across, and the largest is roughly 2" across, as pictured. Clearly a variety of bones, but similar in that they are thinner on one side and either have a rounded or abruptly thicker side. Would greatly appreciate any pointers. Thank you!

I found these hunting for arrowheads in northern Upshur County. They were on the surface downhill from a knoll after recent rainfall. It's a sandy "red dirt" area, with what I think are some scattered hematite and sandstone or siltstone rocks and pieces. Are they fossils? I'm new to fossil and rock hunting. This is my first post
