  1. A few weeks ago I went snail collecting in a drainage canal that is in an outcrop of Eagle Ford - Britton formation , haven't been for awhile and there was a lot of erosion that changed things up. This area must have been very shallow Ive only found a few small ammonites and baculites the majority of finds are crab concretions. This time however no concretions, but various crab parts with unusual preservation of certain things First up want to confirm ID of Cenomanocarcinus vanstraeleni and is that an eyeball? The carapace is a little wonky and missing some but it's definitely round. Also showing area where it appears shell was ripped away and that's what's left.

    Crab #2 are these mouth parts?

    This was collected in same place as #1, half is missing but it didn't get crushed, hard to tell where concretion stops and crab starts and not sure if it's going to get ID , only two bumps and not sure what to make of them It looks like parts were pushed up into cavity that don't belong there but what are they? Im assuming mouth parts? One little piece came off when I was cleaning it.
  3. Collected in same place as 1 and 2, I'm assuming this is Ferroranina dichrous (formerly Notopocorystes) going by the only section of carapace which is calcified. I was really confused as to what I was looking at when cleaning it and had to do a little research on crab anatomy. This one breaks all the rules and looking forward to an explanation of how this was possible. #1 showing carapace, #2 heart, #3 gill, #4 I believe is calcified flesh, #5 cardiac and pyloric stomach (I think) , 6,7,8, and the rest are open for interpretation. #5 was most fascinating and took pictures from different angles with different lighting.

    Bryzoa?

    This was a crab concretion I smacked to see if anything recognizable was in it, there wasn't but the outside had several places with Bryzoa I'm assuming. First time I've had hands on experience with it and trying to ID it is trickier than I thought

    Hello

    Hello Everyone, I have a few (presumably)fossils to show y'all to see what you have to tell me about them. I live in a fossil rich part of Texas, so I'm literally surrounded by fossils everyday, I figured maybe I could learn a little about them here. I *do* want to warn you that I am ADHD, so if I wander off it's because I saw a squirrel or a shiny. But I will get back to this eventually, and it's not for lack of interest. I am assuming I should post my 'what's this' questions in a more appropriate place.. so I'll see y'all there!
  6. So I'm sure nothing here is anything great or spectacular, I just decided I want to know a little about these things I've collected, mostly in my/friends backyards in DFW area. They are all on 12" pavers for size reference. I have a few bonus pieces of fossilized wood (and I'm not sure about the completely black pieces.. but very curious), and a couple of rocks thrown in for extra lol

    Can anyone identify these?

    My wife found this amazing, big shark tooth and to me it looks like a great white lol. This butterfly looking shell is cool too.
  8. Went to check out creek level and look for stranded fish and picked up couple things at the water line. Creek is in Eagle Ford formation, Cretateous. Don't know if there's enough bone to determine anything, it's completely mineralized, doesn't quite look like the usual turtle shell piece but thought it might be recognizable. Would the rock be banded chert? I haven't seen it except in small pieces, is this how it is formed?

    Ladonia Fossil Park Finds

    Hello, everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve been on this forum, but I was finally able to make my way back up to Ladonia this week to hunt a little. I didn’t walk too far from the bridge and mostly just surface-searched through gravel bars; unfortunately, I didn’t fulfill my dream of finding a mosasaur tooth, but I did find some other cool things! (Please note that all measurements are in centimeters) 1. My favorite find today was this Xiphactinus tooth. I found it just sitting on top of a submerged (but very shallow) gravel bar. 2. I accidentally found this point after just picking up what looked like a black rock in the water. I’d love to learn more about it; I was thinking perhaps a Gary Point? 3. Next up is a tooth(?) that is so worn down I’m not even sure if it’s identifiable, but I thought I would put it out there in case anyone had any ideas. I was thinking perhaps Ptychodus, but someone suggested to me that it could possibly be Globidens. Any thoughts? 4. Fish bone? 5. Mosasaur vert? This is an unfamiliar shape to me so I’d love some insight. 6. Another mosasaur vert. 7. Bone fragment #1. Not sure if it’s possible to identify this, but it had a distinct shape, so I decided to just post and see. 8. Bone fragment #2. Also not sure if this will be identifiable. That’s all that I have for right now!

    Pennsylvanian fossils part 2

    Some of these fossils are so tiny it's really hard to get clear pictures, like #12, these are scattered in several places not much bigger than fishing line, guessing echinoid spines? #7 undecided if these are brachiopods or maybe lungfish teeth? #8 looks like a battle ground, deconstructed echinoid and parts of crinoids? Not sure what to make of all that
  11. This is my last post for the foreseeable future and want to get an ID on all of these. Found this last summer after big flood churned up creek in Eagle Ford formation, it's not unusual to find imported erosion control rocks with crinoid stems but they're usually big and heavy and harder than concrete so when i saw this small one I grabbed it. I plopped it down on dog bed and took one practice pic (about 10" long #1) then when I picked it up it started to fall apart and I realized it was still wet, never completely cured, still had soft clay. I'm not familiar with rocks out west is this normally how fossils are found there? How did this rock manage to get dug up, loaded, travel at least 50 miles then get dumped and never dry out or get smashed to peices? Pic #2 is what remained after removing all soft parts and drying. Anyway it was a mini fossil hunting trip all in one rock and just wish everything wasn't so tiny! #3 was the prettiest but can't tell if it's a brachiopod or not. #4 Marginfera? #5 brachiopod? #6 columnal I thought would be easy to ID but no. #9 Composita sp? #10 unknown gastropod and crinoid stems. #11 another Composita? I'll do a second post with the rest it's too many pictures.

    Are y'all's echinoids calcified?

    Feel like a duh moment maybe coming, I just realized at least some of my irregular echinoids are calcified. Is this common in Texas? Has anyone sliced one? I'm really curious what they look like naked and thinking of tumbling these ugly ones just to see. Are the structures I'm seeing in the calcite actually part of the echinoid or mineral inclusions?

    An Inoceramid morning and a mystery

    Set out yesterday morning to dig up seedling blue bonnets in area by a gulley I hunt, haven't been there for a year so thought I'd check it out before it started raining. I think this is an outcrop of Britton formation, Eagle Ford. Didn't get far before it started raining so basically filled my bag with globs of clay for most part then proceeded to clog up bathtub washing it all off. Pretty happy with results, wish I could find whole ammonites the preservation is so good, was tickled with two Inoceramus that had some shell. So mystery #1, I'm stumped and afraid to chip at any more not knowing the rest of shape. #2, not sure if the piece of shell is related, looks an awful lot like a ptychodus tooth but I'm sure it's something boring Threw in last one just curious what it could be.

    Ostrea? Gryphaea/Pycnodonte?

    Cretateous oyster from Grayson formation that I need to mark off my list. Largest oyster I've found, both valves present, weighs half a pound, but umbo and beak are obliterated so undecided. I think Ostrea when I see ruffles. And now Gryphaea are going by Pycnodonte? They stick an e on the end of fish name and it's an oyster now? Why do they want to confuse us more
  15. First one I want to confirm ID, it's still a work in progress, Calycoceras Tarrantense? The other one I just wanted to share, I haven't seen such unique preservation and view of the siphuncle and think it's facinating.
  16. Hello, everyone! Back in February I was hunting in the North Sulphur River, and I found a few fossils that I am curious about, as well as a broken artifact. If anyone could give me any insights on these pieces, I would be grateful! 1: Pictures 1-3 are of the artifact. 2: Pictures 4-6 are of a tooth. To me, it seems mor conical than a shark tooth, but it does have a flat part underneath. 3: Pictures 7-8 Unknown 4: Pictures 9-11 Unknown 5: Pictures 12-14 Unknown

    Is this a vertebra or something else?

    Found what might be a vertebra yesterday- let me know what yall think with these photos! It looks like it’s about 2 and a half inches tall, or about 6.35 centimeters. It looks like it’s 2.56 centimeters long. Both are just my closest estimates, so take them with a grain of salt-

    Help id this jaw piece (maybe other stuff?)

    Found a pretty cool fossil yesterday- has what definitely looks like some fossil teeth in it, along with a tiny, almost shrimp or krill looking creature. Here are the photos- fossil is almost 8 centimeters tall- a little over 3 inches for my american friends. it’s a bit hard to measure the width cause it’s a little wonky shaped and math isn’t my strong suit… you’ll have to go with this for now.

    Found some stuff today

    I went fossil hunting out near the nearby creek today, since i had some free time. Here’s what i found: while i’m sure this first one is a concretion, i wanna know what yall think! Here’s the second one, which interested me way more- first one is 5cm, second one is 9 and a half centimeters: if you look closely- you can see weird markings on the second fossil that look almost like a tire track. Let me know what yall think that is.

    Is this a lobster?

    Found this nearby my house in a rockpile- it looks like some of the lobster fossils i’ve seen on here, but i just wanna be completely sure. It’s 3 centimeters long, half a centimeter wide. Here are the photos i took (sorry the lighting sucks, i’m trying to heal some pretty bad sunburns) image 1 (top) Image 2 (bottom) image 3: right image 4: left image 5: front image 6: back

    Specimen found in creek

    I’m very sorry for posting so much- i got bored yesterday so i put on my boots and went down to the creek not too far from my house! This specimen in particular caught my eye- while it’s probably just an eroded rock or something, i’d still like to see what yall think!

    Help me identify these bivalves!

    Found some (what i presume are) bivalves on the same hunt i found my ironstone! I decided to post them separately cause i wanna be as active as possible without overcrowding anything. They’re a little over 2 centimeters, my estimate at least (i’m terrible at math and not familiar with the metric system so bare with me-)

    Strange, hollow fossil?

    Hi, amateur fossil hunter here (haven’t even been doing it for a month now) so i need a little help with trying to figure out what this fossil is. I’m most certain it is a fossil due to the hollow, almost tube/funnel like shape of it. From what i know on human anatomy, it could maybe be a phalanx of something? Maybe i’m just getting my hopes up. these are the photos next to a q-tip, which is 4 inches. (I know that’s a terrible way to measure things but it’s the best thing i’ve got.)

    Strange cracks in rock!

    Found this strange rock or fossil out in a creek on the land i’m currently living on in cross roads, tx. I was mostly intruiged by the cracks- though I wouldn’t be surprised nor disappointed if it was just a strange rock.

    I think i found a sponge or coral?

    New to this platform and web forums in general (other than discord). But uh- i was at Lake Ray Roberts beach yesterday and found this strangely shaped rock in the water that i think might be a sponge or coral due to the abnormal tiny holes in it. I’m no paleontologist but i know that the area used to be underwater, so it would make sense. If anyone can identify these photos, it would be a huge favor (and if you have discord i might draw your fav dino as a reward-) (btw, the fossil’s about 3/4ths the size of my hand, and i’m 5’11.)
