GlenRose Formation 105 - 115 MYA Found near roadcut in San Antonio First I want to warn you, These are low quality photos due to it being night and having a dim light in translucent glass. So if you are unable to further identify due to poor quality photos, I understand wholeheartedly. Without further adieu, Here is the lot Below I will post individual photos in the comments. Firstly I'd like to state a few in which I think I know the answer. 1 I believe is a Neithea irregularis 2. I don't know if its a messed

Glen Rose Formation 105 - 115 MYA Found in Roadcut near north San Antonio I know its not great quality but from just this, is this an ammonite and if so, is it possible to narrow it to a species?

Hi all, this is my first post so please excuse any mistakes. I found this Specimen in the Canyon Lake area if Central Texas. I haven't tried to remove too much of the limestone until I knew more about what this might be.

Hello all! This is a little photo project I've been working on for a while. When I first started Fossil Hunting I was content to collect whatever. Then I was excited about Identifying what I was finding. The education continued and now I work to identify the geological formations I am collecting in and am able to know what fossils to look for in what areas. The Pocket Texas Geology website is invaluable for finding out the formation of a specific area (while not 100 percent accurate, it's pretty good). So I wanted to create a post that would help with Central Texas Cretaceous Fossil Identific

I found this in the same area where I found the Corbula plate. Found west of Austin, on Highway 290. It was partially still covered, in the side of the road cut, when I slowly wiped away the matrix. Couldn’t believe the length. Immediately stopped collecting and took it to the car for safe keeping. It is not the shell itself but a mold of the shell. Always wondered on the identification. Can someone help me? Thank you in advance.

Central Texas has been experiencing a surprisingly cool September plus quite a bit of rain! And that equals some great fossil hunting! I have gone to a few old spots and a few new spots! All in the Cretaceous Glen Rose. I am just constantly amazed at the amount of fauna in the Glen Rose. It seems like I find something new just about every time I go out! I was happy to find a new species of echinoid - a Goniopygus sp. ( very different from the previous Goniopygus I've found) It's tiny tiny, only 5mm. And I found my first really good vertebrate material - a Pycnodont jaw with teeth and- 19 replies

Hello all! I purchased this fossil several years ago, The location given is 'Glen Rose, Texas, private ranch', and was labelled as 'Lower Cretaceous' coprolite on original matrix. I am 90% sure that the coprolites have been lightly stained with a brown stain. I have dozens of legit coprolite specimens from across the Southwest (but mostly Permian and Triassic), but I have never been convinced that this specimen, which definitely has potential for being authentic, actually is. Any insights you can provide would be deeply appreciated. [P.S., this is the 5th of 5 s

From the album: Dinosaurs
I took this photo a while back in Dinosaur Valley State Park. Texas was in the midst of a drought, so the river that usually flows over the trackway was dry. I wish I had taken more photos (with a better camera too). These 3-toed theropod tracks are from the Early Cretaceous, and were likely made by Acrocanthosaurus.-

HI all! I found a new to me crab leg! At least I'm fairly sure it's a crab leg! But I have not seen one like this. It's from Canyon Lake area in the Lower Glen Rose formation. I've looked at some of the literature but am not seeing anything that looks similar. Any help would be appreciated!
