Can anybody ID what this is? I found this several years ago in the North Texas creeks. It has some spots on the top and broken shells mixed with it. Could that round dark spots be coral or bryozoans?

Help me ID this Find from a creek bed in texas! Possibly fish scales?
Taterageous posted a topic in Fossil ID
I collected this fossil many years ago as a kid, from a very rocky creek bed in Gorman, Texas. North Central Texas. No idea as to the geological age of the area. The "scales" have a slightly curved face that rises from the center to the sides, but not front and back. They also seem to be leaned on top of another similar to how normal scales are, all pointing the same direction. Almost looks as though the back side of the specimen has bone fragments visible? To my untrained eye, this what I assumed. From my own research, so far I assume it could be from a fish -
I found this bivalve yesterday while fossil hunting North Central Cooke County near Red River. These area has mixed Walnut Clay, Goodland and Antlers Sand formations. Closest similar one I found on the Internet was Gyrostrea from Commanche Peak formation in Hood county, but I doubt it.

A few weeks after my mother found her most recent cidarid in an Edwards formation check dam, I took a few minutes to swing by the same dam to see for myself what else could be found. Within minutes I dug up a cylindrical fossil that for a few weeks puzzled me due to its resemblance to a belemnite phragmocone. Then on Wednesday night I went to the DPS meeting and afterwards met briefly with Professor Andy Gale and showed him this specimen. He identified it as a rudist and immediately corroborated that with another DPS member familiar with rudists. What confused me is that it doesn't look like a

North Sulphur River find from 5/27/18 Think it's a vertebra but it's not one I recognize, its 4.75 inches wide, 3.25 inches high. Pretty badly beat up from rolling around the river.

I found this ammonite a few years ago. Shortly after I found it a piece broke off the front revealing some of the internal structure of the ammonite. I know it is pretty worn down, but can anyone give me an idea of what kind it is? As best I can tell I found it in the Edwards formation outside of Rio Vista, TX.

Found this symmetrical piece, almost clam-like around the area we typically find sandstone/clam mash and texigraphea. This piece has an odd weight with symmetrical fading of "peppery" or pin-prick black dots. The piece also has bone-like pitting in areas where there is a "line" or streak of lighter mineral. Puzzled. Here is a description of the area: The surface geology of the North Texas region is mainly limestone, shale, clay and sandstone that was deposited during the middle portion of the Cretaceous Period (110-90 million years ago locally). During most of the Cretaceou
