Location: Sweetwater, TX looks like an egg kinda

Helotes, Tx Part of this shell was sticking out of a chunk of sediment. I used a water pick to clear the rest of it. In trying to determine what kind of shell it is, I’ve found several that are similar, but none with the shell spiral as tight. The closest thing that I could find is below. This doesn’t seem correct considering my location. Placostylus porphyrostomus is a species of large air-breathing land snail, a pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Bothriembryontidae. This species is endemic to New Caledonia.

I found this rock on the edge of the hill in my backyard in Helotes, Tx. The previous heavy rains have exposed a lot on my hillside. I am in sure what the wood looking pieces are in pictures 3&4. If anyone is familiar, that would be great.

I found this partial nautiloid at Jacksboro. Finis Shale member, Graham Formation, Pennsylvanian. The odd part is how deep the umbilicus is. There was just enough of it to see a piece of intact inner whorl for the profile and some septa to know about how much bigger it could have been if an adult. There was also a piece of the flank broken back with tubercles. I made the clay model of what it might have looked like whole but left off most of the tubercles. I will add photos comparing it to a Metacoceras fragment of about the same diameter that shows the depth from the flank to the previous whorl being about twice as wide.

I think the cylindrical ones are crinoids but not sure on the cones Garage sale find in NW San Antonio. May or may not be from San Antonio. One of the cones is broken in half (pictured) and the broken sides of some cones (also pictured) I noticed that the cones have a line going down from tip to the bottom (one pictured) Please help ID

Hey Everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not it is allowed to remove fossils from the Spring Creek in Garland, Tx. I have not found anything definite. Might just be tired though. Thanks for any help, Planko

Ok, probably not a hot dog. Plus it is too small. This was found at NSR. Measures 3in x .75in x 1.25in. Probably geological but cannot help but think there is more. Correct all wise people.

Here I am again. I found some really cool stuff yesterday and today but need some help. All found NSR. Most red matrix which I am not use to. I normally stick away from there as that is where everyone goes but couldn't resist. Any help is appreciated. ...This if four of maybe four... Ok, I do believe this is geological but i unusual to my simple eye.

Fossil ID - Colorado River, TX (+ petrified wood bonus pics)
FlounderStomper posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello all, I recently discovered some awesome petrified wood in some large landscape river rock near my office. I have always collected petrified wood since I was a kid and this peaked my interest again. In an attempt to find out more about the wood, I found out that the rock was taken from the Colorado River near La Grange, TX. As I was collecting more specimens, I came across this which appears to be fossilized bone. It is much lighter than what a rock that size would be and has many odd features that seem to resemble bone. Can you guys offer some knowledge on whether you think this is bone and any other information you may have? I love collecting fossils/rocks but have not studied any sort of paleontology so I am totally green to formations, periods, etc. Most of my finds get put on display at my office or home and I never really know much about them. Im starting to learn though! The following pictures are the "bone" in question. Thank you!

Somervell County TX - Fossil Rim area rental with fossils
emtreloa posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Our second summer trip was up to the Glen Rose, TX area. We rented a great place via Home Away that had a fossil hunting spot. Super convenient when the heat was >110F. We hit the Dinosaur Valley State Park and went fossil hunting at the property we stayed at. Found lots of great cretaceous fossils. Still trying to identify a bunch of them. We found heart urchins, devil's toenails, I think there are some Oxytropidoceras fragments, etc. Oxytropidoceras fragments? Not sure what this is yet.

Not sure what in the world this is. Any ideas? Found in the North Sulphur River.

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?
