I’ve browsed the extensive photo gallery of @Harry Pristis but had no luck finding a similar bone. I found this on the Brazos River in SE Texas. I’m thinking it’s a carpal from either a proboscidean or eremetherium. Anyone seen this or have an opinion? @fossilus @Uncle Siphuncle @Shellseeker @Lorne Ledger Thanks!

I've started finding these on my East Texas property recently. Pictures of two different rocks are attached. One of the forms in the rocks is crystallized. Picked up off the ground where there's iron ore and hematite. Your feedback is appreciated.

As a generalist, sometimes I like to scratch around in the Eagle Ford Group at various points along the Balcones Fault Zone from the Red River down through DFW, Waco, Austin, San Antonio and out into west Texas. Sites come and go, and wax and wane in productivity. Every now and then I find a new, untapped resource. Some are ephemeral, some have been around for a while, but what they all have in common is that they each seem worth 1 guy’s while at most 1-3 times per year, so I tend to keep strategically silent regarding provenance. I am at liberty, however, to share a few specimen photos from the last year. Let’s start with the last fossil people tend to associate with the Eagle Ford...echinoids. Mecaster batnensis shown below.

I went out to brave the Texas summer heat and was well rewarded. Post Oak Creek is so heavily picked, especially in the summer, that I didn't expect much. I even went there with the Dallas Paleontological Society last month and saw a ton of footprints then and not many good teeth. The first three hours I found almost nothing, as I expected the surface was all picked over, however I found one gravel bar that people must not have gotten to because I started finding a few decent cretodus, squalicorax, goblin shark teeth, and a couple of nice ptychodus. Finally I found two huge teeth about a foot apart from each other. The first one is by far my largest ever complete tooth that was as large as two quarters. Then the next one with the nice cusplets is larger than a quarter which would still have been my largest find if I hadn't of found the first one. There are also two pictures, front and back, of some worn chunkosaur bones and two micro teeth. Also another cool find was a ptychodus in the secondary matrix. See if you can spot it? I always like to look in the secondary matrix sticking out of the river banks as I usually find a small tooth or two but this time I found a good one. The last two pictures are of a worn vertebrae. Not sure what from though. Mosasaur?

I brought home a bag of microfossil matrix from NSR a few months ago and finally got to look through it. I am used to the microfossil matrix from Post Oak Creek and it is much easier. I just strain it and wash it off and its ready to go however the North Sulphur River matrix required days of soaking and washing before it was ready to look through. It was still fun. There were two pretty large teeth here but surprisingly not the abundance of micro teeth I find at POC. See the finds below: Can you see anything? How about now?
