It’s been a while, but now I’ve got something worth posting about that I’d like identified. :) Took a trip to Lake Texoma yesterday and my husband found this. My guess is some kind of bivalve, but I’m hoping that someone here has a little more knowledge.

Battery-Powered Tools for my Return to Lake Texoma, OK
Megalodoodle posted a topic in Collecting Gear
I’m planning my return trip to Lake Texoma and I was wondering if y’all had any suggestions for tools to bring. Preferably batter-powered (no generator) and powerful enough to excavate large ammonites from hard limestone. Explosives, battery acid, and hydrochloric acid are out of the question. I’d settle for gas-powered tools, but only as a last resort. -
Just got home from a sorrowful trip to Texas. I stopped at the Denison Dam on Lake Texoma for a relaxing hunt. I did find some oysters (brought one home for my grandson), and found a nice exterior mold of an ammonite. However, there was one piece I saw and photographed that I'm not sure what it was. I'd have brought it home, but I noticed two cottonmouths too close for comfort. The object was approximately 6"×10" (15×24 cm). Although it was in jumbled rip-rap, I believe it from the Duck Creek Formation. I hope the photo is clear enough.

I believe these were found in the Lake Texoma area. Any suggestions on what they are and how I might remove some of the sediment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone! 8 months ago I drove across the country and stopped at Ladonia fossil park. I had a great time but only got a few hours in, and now I'm planning to head back to Texas sometime next month to do some more searching. I know that the fossil park is picked through pretty well, so I'm wondering if anyone has advice for other places to visit in the general area? I hope to be near the Dallas area for several days and am more than willing to travel/hike a good distance. I'm primarily interested in ammonites, echinoderms, and - if at all possible - finding a mosasaur tooth.

Happy Fossil Friday everyone! In today's video offering, I sneak across the border into Texas to hunt for those Texas-sized ammonites, and I met another YouTuber on the way.

Spent Saturday afternoon visiting Lake Texoma and Post Oak Creek. Overall not a bad day. Found some decent ammonite and rare Paraisurus tooth at the Texoma. Also found nice shark tooth from the Post Oak creek. Always nice size ammonites exposed on the surface at the Ammonite Beach. Water levels pretty low. About 6 feet under. Nice looking Paraisurus tooth from the Duck Creek Lake Texoma. Last time I found one was back in 2019. This was a nice find for me. Nice decent shark & fish teeth fr

Hello all, My since we just went through Hurricane Sally, my wife said I need to get out and go collecting. Who am I to argue! So I'm planning a trip to north Texas to collect. I would appreciate and help from y'all to point me in the right direction. I have been to Lake Texoma and the Jacksboro once, briefly, in the past and really had a great time there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Duck Creek oyster ID please. This was the only one found in this area. I found numerous other early Cretaceous bivalves in Lake Texoma like Amphidonte walkeri, Graphea, Neithea.

I made a trip to the Lake Texoma area yesterday, to hunt a Duck Creek outcropping on a bluff. This was one of those trips that turned into more of an adventure than I bargained for. The hike from where I had to park was a lot longer and more arduous than I anticipated (it always looks easy on a satellite image, doesn't it?), and it ended up being one of those situations where I just couldn't come back the way I went in. So, I ended up getting lost, and hiking a much further distance on the return, with a heavy backpack. I should have taken a moment to mark on gps where I parked the

The back end of our vacation plans got blown out of the water by covid19 so we are making some adjustments. Currently we are slated to be at Theissen quarry in OK in late June. Any chance the water at Lake Texoma is low enough to make it worth the ride? Or any other suggestions in that general region? I am heading east/northeast for home in PA after.

I posted this while back, but no ID yet. I'm thinking this is a Xiphactinus vertebrae. Anybody agree?

I found this a while back, and now I'm wondering if it could be a stromatolite. Though, it could just be some sedimentary formation. It was found in the red river/lake texoma in texas. Any thoughts or insight would be much appreciated, thank you! In the second photo, I sanded a bit of the side to show the layering.

Found these next to the creeks in nearby Lake Texoma. I'm thinking this maybe the heteromorph ammos, but not quiet sure. Thing I have noticed are tight coil patterns that are not present on these ammo pieces.

I found these two oysters few weeks ago near Lake Texoma ( Early Cretaceous). Still trying to figure out what it is. I saw a similar oyster called Pycnodonte vesicularis (Lamarck, 1806) , but not 100% sure. I see a paper published for Pycnodonte vesicularis that was found in S. America. An assessment of latest Cretaceous Pycnodonte vesicularis (Lamarck, 1806) shells as records for palaeoseasonality: a multi-proxy investigation https://www.clim-past.net/14/725/2018/cp-14-725-2018.pdf

Can someone please identify this for me It's from Lake Texoma, Grayson county, TX. Found Nov. 2019

What is this? I found these pieces next to a creek on duck creek formation nearby Lake Texoma. It appears to be a shell, but doesn't look like any other shells I found elsewhere.

I found some vertebrae and tooth from a creek that were flowing next to the Lake Texoma today. Those tooth looks like shark or fish tooth. Not sure about the vertebrae though. It appears to be a cretaceous fish. Also on long tooth, not sure whether that's a fish or not. All of these were found next to washed out duck creek grey sediment.

As I was heading home from vacation in Oklahoma I heard that may large ammonite specimens were found at Lake Texoma. Not wanting to pass up the opportunity to obtain some nice sized ammonite specimens I drove two hours out of my way. When I arrived I realized how massive Lake Texoma is and decided to rent a kayak to aid in my search for ammonites. Pushing my kayak out into the lake I paddled at a nice leisurely pace. After realizing that going slow was going to put a large dent in my wallet ($50 an hour) I decided to pick up the pace. I quickly paddle straight out to the opposite side of the l

Found small sea urchin next to the ammonite in Lake Texoma Duck creek formation over the weekend. While I was cleaning the sea urchin, I noticed something that caught my eyes. It appears to be a small worm that lived in Cretaceous sea, gotten attached to the sea urchin and fossilized at the same time. Anybody familiar with sea worms like this?

Over winter break, I decided to head north for some fossil hunting. In particular, I wanted to find a complete ammonite for my collection. In the past I have only found pieces. So I went to Lake Texoma and was happy to see that recent rains didn't make the excursion pointless. It was a little brisk at 40 degrees and a 10 mph wind from the north. The first ammonite I found was complete, easy to excavate, and entirely too large to make the hike back to the car enjoyable. So I left it behind for the next person willing to haul 30-40 lbs. back to the parking lot. The next

Good Morning! My wife and kids are spending a few days on the Texas side of Lake Texoma (Gordonville, Texas). Are there any places nearby that might yield a few of the famous ammonites from this region? Thanks in advance, Daniel

Only reason I think this may be something is because I found it next to four associated shark vertebrae. It's from Lake Texoma.
