Planko Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 My sister found this time we went out. She has only sent the one pic but figured it might be able to be ID'd. Found NSR in the same area as a vert, baculite pieces and a lot of oysters. Piece is about 2 inches long. Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Can you offer us any more views of this thing, perhaps end shots and the other side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planko Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Forgot to mention the piece is about 3in x 1.25in x .5. That is from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Well I got nothin! Hopefully you can get a better answer soon. I almost want to say shell, but its so straight and thick. @JarrodB @facehugger You guys seen anything like this in your travels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Probably a calcite slickenside that forms in the joints and faults. They are usually layered in the horizontal direction and are semi normal to the direction of striations and polish caused by rocks grinding together. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/67359-limestone-petrified-wood-from-mckinney/&do=findComment&comment=707552 I think that I see some polish on one side like that in above photo: 2 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

JarrodB Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 DPS Ammonite nailed it. Certain areas of the river and some of the creeks have large amounts of that material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
