Lone Hunter Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Found this on gravel bank in creek close to DFW, in a narrow band of Alluvium smack dab in middle of Fluviatile terrace deposits. I'm not sure what to make of it, appreciate input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Hunter Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Never would have guessed that, too many odd shapes that look nothing like crinoids I'm used to finding. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I agree that these are likely from a crinoid, but I suspect they are cirri or roots/holdfast pieces. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

JohnJ Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 @Lone Hunter These rocks are not native to the bedrock formations in Tarrant or Dallas County, TX. They have been trucked in and used in various upstream locations as erosion control. They likely originate from quarries in Wise or Parker counties. 5 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best Pennsylvanian age Spirifer brachiopod was found in road gravel that had spilled down a hill into Cretaceous age "Pawpaw Shale" Edited August 3, 2021 by LanceH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 I also found brachiopod in same place same circumstance, makes it difficult to ID things but then I get to find fossils I normally wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
