I found this while rock hounding in the desert out of Del Rio, Texas. I've never looked for , nor ever found any petrified wood before, so I really have no point of reference. If you guys/ gals could help me, that would be greatly appreciated . Thanks, Joe

I think it's a vertebra/ fossil , but i'm not quite sure. Help!
Joe Salande posted a topic in Fossil ID
Greetings guys/ gals: This is something that I found in the desert out of Del Rio , Texas. I'm pretty sure it's a vertebrae, but looks odd, sort of like a vertebra with a compression fracture. It's definitely bone, I can see the trabeculization pattern. I'm puzzled because it's heavier then actual bone, but a bit litter then a solid rock. It is a heavy lime stone area which could account for the lighter weight . So, any thoughts would be greatly helpful. Thanks in advance. Joe

From the album: MY FOSSIL Collection - Dpaul7
Ilymatogyra ram's horn oyster fossil SITE LOCATION: Del Rio, Texas TIME PERIOD: Lower Cretaceous (100-145 million years ago) Data: The Gryphaeidae, common name the foam oysters or honeycomb oysters, are a family of marine bivalve mollusks, and are a kind of true oyster. This family of bivalves is very well represented in the fossil record, however the number of living species is very few. All species have shells cemented to a substrate. Shells are considered brittle, inequivalve, with the left, lower (cemented) valve convex and the right (upper, non-cemented) valve flat or slightly concave. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Bivalvia Order: Ostreida Family: †Gryphaeidae Genus: †Ilymatogyra
