BudB Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I decided to take a break in picking through the matrix from my last trip and actually get out and hunt this morning. I drove over to Hill County, and tried out a new creek. I really didn't find anything worth mentioning there, left and stopped on the way home at the creek where I'd found so much mud three weeks ago. It was much drier this time, and I had a lot easier time navigating it. But I still didn't find many fossils. Just like last time though, it produced one that made the trip really worthwhile. Does anyone know what this fish tail belonged to? A Xiphactinus, maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hard to say. Could be any number of fish. Cimolichthys, Enchodus, Xiphactinus, Pachyrhizodus, ... etc. Vertebrae are not diagnostic in fish, as far as I know. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
