hndmarshall Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 at first glance this small stone looks to have an impression in it the thing is the stone is smooth to the touch I found this stone in the drive did not have a ruler with me or a coin so you may have to judge its size by my finger found in driveway gravel from Brazos river west of Houston Texas.

JohnJ Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Does it show up better when the stone is damp? The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hndmarshall Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Here is the stone wet another odd feature is it is coated on the image side by some mineral?...giving the image an almost 3d appearance. I am wondering if it is a fossil or just an oddity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Looks a bit like an ammonite. Definitely fossil. The other TX folks will probably be more in-tune with what it is. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWill Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 A rounded stone like that could have washed from strata representing a lot of different geological ages that are cut by the Brazos River. It could be a bivalve, a brachiopod or even a gastropod like Orthonychia. It looks like it might be pretty hard to expose more of it to tell.
