erose Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Yep, Rudists. All packed together as a reef. Cretaceous Period. All just a SWAG since we are only assuming it is in fact from Texas. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wondered what a sampler plate of Cretaceous or even Paleozoic oysters would have tasted like. Of course you would have needed a dinosaur-sized platter for a dozen of them Exogyras or Crassostraeas.... And it's anyone's guess if rudists were worth eating...

Ahhh, but the belemnite calamari would have been quite a treat! Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Nirang Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 It is in fact from Texas, 95% of what I e found myself is from here. My boyfriend found one (I posted 2 pics here) almost the exact same size and material. More specifically it was in between New Braunfels and Canyon Lake I THINK off 2673 but not 100% on that....I look at ALOT of rocks......as for size I figured the stool it’s sitting on would give a vague idea but I wouodnt want to carry this thing very far move and I’m pretty strong lol for a girl....it’s over a foot at the longest - I will post more pics. LOVE “snail cake” my boyfriends find the stringy things in some caves are coral and is that a clown fish poking its nose out of there?! (I can dream)I was guessing along with what y’all said that I’ve read so far . Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
