I spent a VERY fruitful day at Ramanessin, but this one object has me both stumped and intrigued. Sorry for the terrible hotel room photos, and the pen for scale. Also have an altoids box for scale (heh). this object appears to be an internal mold of some kind, it is entirely fine mudstone with some fine gravel. The back (non-pictured) side is broken and shows the mudstone texture well. There is a distinct “cutting edge” to use tooth terminology on the intact side of the item. It has very distinct striations, and frankly it looks like a large.. internal mold of a tooth? I have no idea what the heck. Sadly, on emailing David Parris, I find out he retired 5 months ago :/

So these aren’t my photos and I have haven’t had any interaction with this. All I have is the photos and the assumption that they were found in South Texas (lower Rio Grande Valley) unfortunately. One of my dad’s students found this and is hoping to go into paleontology so showed it to him wondering if it was a fossil. I’m pretty certain it is at this point. I’m sure something like this is pretty hard to ID but estimates about time periods or anything I’m sure would be appreciated by this kid. https://m.imgur.com/a/IUR5GjZ

Happy New Year everyone! I found this awesome little star-like fossil on a Tampa Bay beach in Florida. It's about an inch wide and has crystals in the center. It has a volcano look with grooves and appears to be a mold of something, but what? Thanks in advance.
