    Coalified wood prep (experimental)

    I found 2 nice pieces of coalified wood sticking out of a clay creek bank near the border of the woodbine and eagleford in southern Tarrant County TX a few weeks apart. The first one cracked into a million pieces after it dried out, though I was at least entertained when I placed it in water and it started popping like a bowl of Rice Krispies, or like the sound of a forest fire. So I sent my larger piece I acquired later to the woody beauty shop for a makeover, giving it a couple of coatings of a glossy polyurethane spray. It’s far from perfect, but at least it looks pretty close to how it looked when I found it and maybe it’ll stay together for a few years. Whatever the mud colored object is, it gradually worked its way out of an exposed cavity on one edge of the wood. Also note what I think are marks left by ship worms (?) on the outside. I find it all very interesting, maybe due to my imagination.

    Woodbine pet wood and more

    I’m searching for more Tarrant formation exposures between the woodbine and eagleford in Tarrant/Johnson counties and came across a few normal items (no ammonites this time). One of the more colorful small pieces of pet wood I have. Also, thanks to Lone Hunters ID assistance I have my first piece of coalified wood. I was in a hurry, and it was getting dark, but there’s more at the spot, I’m sure.

    Protohadros Age

    Howdy all, I've recently aquired a protohadros tooth and I've heard some people say that the genus is 95 million years old, and some who say it's 75 million years old. Which is the correct age?

    Big vertebra dinosaur?

    All, can anyone give me a positive id on this possible vertebra I found in creek bed wall? little of rock was sticking out of bank. I was digging in a layer where i find selenite crystals with coal in the gray brittle dirt. think someone commented on the only other vertebrae I found is called gray Merle or woodbine formation. it is very brittle and did one coat of leather shellac to keep from crumbling any more found north Texas any ideas would be much appreciated

    Hadrosaur?

    Howdy all, This is supposedly a hadrosaur tooth from the Woodbine formation of Dallas Texas that I'm very interested in. (If you know you know) Do y'all think the ID is accurate?

    Woodbine Nodosaurid?

    I got this a year or so ago, but this was bought as, possibly an ankylosaurian from the Woodbine Formation at Dallas Fort Worth Airport, Texas, USA. It is in pretty rough shape, so I don't expect the best results, but I'm hoping it is an indet. narrowed down to at least Ankylosauria. It looked like it could be a Nodosaurid indet. based on shape. A high chance of it being a complete bust, but I didn't spend much on it so it I figured it was worth the risk for a rare locale. Forgot to take a picture with a measurement, but it's roughly 4.5mm tall.

    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.
  9. Fossilsupremacy

    Very confused on what i found

    -a little under 8 centimeters -tried to take my best photos: i don’t have professional equipment so bare with me. -a piece of it is chipped off, i couldn’t find the other piece -there seems to be this big, octopus shaped thing on the side with a black spot in the middle. I might just be getting eager, but could that be ink?

    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!

    Unknown from Woodbine

    I've been finding all kinds of strange things in this new spot in Woodbine, here's another I have no idea on. First thought was shell piece until magnification, pretty sure it's not, looks nothing like typical shells or preservation in the rest of rocks. It's kinda square, flat, and the black lines appear to be associated with it like antenna or something. Not even sure if it's plant or animal, looks bug like. Appreciate any help as always!

    First Leaf Imprint? Tarrant Woodbine

    The last month has been a bit quiet for me in terms of fossils. Since school ended for the summer, I've been back in DFW and studying hard for an exam. Thankfully, when test day came, I managed to score well, granting me the time to finally research and take a trip out to a new spot! For most of my life, I've been on top of the Woodbine Formation. I've never perceived it to be particularly fossiliferous as I have rarely come across anything when scouting the ground. However, seeing some of the posts on this forum has since reignited my curiosity about this formation. The Woodbine is a unique place in that it contains material from a coastal environment where terrestrial organisms could be preserved. This contrasts with all of my previous Cretaceous fossil hunting, which were all on nearby marine strata. While I like finding oceanic material, I also value variety and the idea of stumbling upon something unusual like a dino tooth is really exciting. So today, I decided to briefly explore the nearest Woodbine outcrop I could find! I came into today's adventure with low hopes as I know the Woodbine can be unforgiving. Also, it was decently hot and I had forgotten to take my water bottle with me. Scattered here and there were little piles of red rock that I assume had just washed out from yesterday's rain. I spent most of my time getting fooled by little rusty scraps of metal (that reddish bronze color is too similar to the surrounding rock for my untrained eyes). Dehydration was close to pushing me to call it quits when I came across a strangely shaped piece of sandstone. Lots of the stones from this formation naturally exist in weird attention-catching shapes, but I noticed that this one had faint indentations resembling the veins of a leaf. I have never found a plant fossil before so I could easily be mistaking a strangely weathered piece of sandstone for something more than it is, but I am hopeful that this will be a couple personal firsts (my first plant and first terrestrial Mesozoic fossil). For any Woodbine experts... if this is a terrestrial plant, would it suggest that this site could produce dinosaur material? The "veins" are hard to capture on camera, but I think I've done as good a job as I can in the naturally lit photos below. It kinda looks like an oak leaf in my eyes. All insights are greatly appreciated! Let me know if you have any additional questions! Thanks for reading
  15. Found this a few days ago in a local creek that has Woodbine. When I picked this up it had an "echinoid sheen" to it. Also thought it was just a possible bi valve. Not so sure after looking at Turtle egg fossil or rather possible turtle egg fossils on Google.

    ID needed - Cretaceous Vertebra?

    I found this rock in a creek near me that I'm hoping is a vertebra fossil. It was found in the Woodbine of the Cretaceous of Texas. It was standing out from all the other rocks (most of the other rocks were red and we're not smooth). This possible fossil also has a smooth and circular shape to it, but also has slight angles it seems (if you could even call them angles). There's also a lot of small cracks in the center of the rock/fossil. Can anyone identify the species or family of animal this vertebra belonged to? Or is it just concretion or a rock? Any help is appreciated
  17. found this is creekbed, buried just under surface, gravel bed, just want to share and hear feed back.

    Found with Gryphaea ID Help

    Hi- I found this today at Lake Benbrook, Tarrant County Texas. I was looking for newly exposed large ammonoids. I believe that it is possibly from the Woodbine formation because I also found some nice Gryphaea- looks like maybe Parasmilia but it also looks like has a shell- 3.5 inches x 1 inch. Your expert help appreciated- Thanks-
