I found this about 30 years ago in a creek by my house. No one has been able to identify it yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Found this specimen in Post Oak Creek in North Texas. For those unfamiliar it cuts through Cretaceous era deposits. Appears to me to be a very worn jawbone fragment. Strange to me though how the "teeth" appear to be clustered as opposed to having a linear orientation. Mosasaur and Plesiosaur teeth and jawbones have been found in this area, but not sure if this looks like either. Any suggestions?

Hi all! My son found this fossil in Pease Park, Austin ,TX, Travis County limestone. He wants to use it for our Christmas card! But we need to know what it is, so we can adjust the text on the card. It looks like an coilopoceras ammonite (see image below) , they are common in the region and the number of lines seems right, but someone in a fossil forum thought it was an echinoid, like a star fish? What could it be? Does anyone have an idea? Thank you!! Ammonites in the region:

Sorry about the title and tags. I don't know what to say. Tags are hard too. Anyway, give me a name please so I can go learn.

Good Evening, I just got back from Bastrop, Texas with a rock that appears to contain a fossil. There may be more than just the obviously different item begging to be identified so I will post pictures showing more views. The height difference of the center cleavage is roughly 1mm. I'm inclined to think this is a foot claw or, because of the area, a sea creature. It may be nothing but a rock within a rock. What do y'all think this is? Any help is much appreciated. -Scott

I haven't yet ID'd the ammonites from this newly found site, but the bowling ball nautiloids are Eutrephoceras. Right after finding the site and scoring a few nice ammonites, I informed my wife of my intentions of taking my friend there....and she threw some wife clout to get her own trip in first! Now I have another buddy in mind who may enjoy a little cephalopod beating bliss...

Here are some interesting finds from a creek bed in Dallas, TX. There are all kinds of concretions in the area, and these could very well be just that. The first one seems to be some kind of sponge or coral? The second one looks like some sort of bone, but who knows: The third one is a lot larger. It has characteristics of nodules/concretions I have found (with little nuggets that come off) but it seems to also have a larger continuous solid surface (second image) as well as a 'spongy' side. Cheers, Sergej

First Time, Found Some Fossils In Jacksonville Texas (East Texas)
donnye posted a topic in Member Collections
First time fossil hunting and here are some of my better looking fossils. Any idea what I've found here? I'm on my phone so can't edit file size in a timely manner but I posted the pics on my site for now here http://www.donnyeisenbach.com/ Would love to hear feedback on what I found. -
Here is a vert that is not like any of the others I've found. It's 2 3/4 inches tall and rather spool like, but oval instead of round. It's not well preserved but does exhibit the grainy look I see in mosasaur verts. My 1st thought was plesiosaur but it does not really look like what I see in any of the pictures. Now I'm thinking croc? Your guesses are welcome.

We had a big rain last week so I decided to go to a well known site in Runaway Bay to see what had been newly exposed. Found some nice examples of the normal stuff and then caught sight of something I thought at first was a piece of glittery, foily trash. On closer inspection, it turned out to be an otherwise normal reddish limonite nodule on the outside with beautiful fire on the inside. I used 2 cameras trying to get a photo of what I was seeing. The cellphone camera just would not show any color - that photo is just to show scale (that's a 24 oz coffee cup lid) and some of the other stuff I found out there. The other camera picked up some color but still doesn't do it justice. It was cold and I headed back to the truck when my boots weighed 12 lbs. The nodules of Lake Bridgeport never cease to surprise and delight. I've found them with all manner of interesting interiors, but I never expected to encounter the Schiller Effect on a hunt for Pennsylvanian fossils.

Walking a dry section of Walnut Creek today, my eyes latched onto this piece amongst all the blowing leaves. It is 7.5cm long, 5.25cm at its greatest width. It resembles the mosasaur verts I've found nearby, but I suppose it could be something else. What do you think? Thanks for looking.
