Megalodoodle Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 A shell I found at Lake Texoma (Texas/Oklahoma border). Please help! Also how do I make images smaller? Like physically, not file size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Some pictures from other sides might change my mind, but to me it looks like it could be a piece of an Ammonite like Oxytropidoceras. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 If the ribbed pattern wraps around the bottom of the photo and continues on the backside then it probably is a cephalopod like Idiohamites. It also could be part of a pectinoid such as Neithea. My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Rockwood Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I think the software feature you're looking for is called cropping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieLynn Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 what Rockwood said. If you took the pic from your phone, when you look in the gallery for it -(depending on your phone of course) you should see a little pencil icon at the top. That will allow you to do some editing features, like cropping to make the image better. 2 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facehugger Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I have hunted Texoma quite a bit over the last few years, and I believe my peers here are correct - it appears to be a heteromorph ammonite fragment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree this seems to be correct, as there are many reports of ammonites found there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
