Need help with Brazos River, TX finds

Recommended Posts

Went looking at gravel bars today on the Brazos River west of Houston. Got lots of great pieces of petrified wood, and these which I can’t identify. This was only my second time looking for fossils so still working on identifying things. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Wish I could find a fern imprint just lying on a sandbar. Always been partial to them

Since the Brazos cuts through a huge variety of geologic periods that can make it hard to say for sure where anything in the gravel bars came from but the leaves in photo 8 sure look like the Pennsylvanian material from around Palo Pinto County. I knew all the good ones must be getting washed downstream! Maybe pinna of the seed fern Neuropteris sp. or Pecopteris sp.
