There is so much going on on this rock not sure I captured it all. Found in park east of DFW airport, North Texas Eagle Ford. Most interesting is the long object running down center of rock, almost the whole length. Have not been able to find anything similar. Not sure what else is there other than snails, ammonite, bacculites, maybe worms and tiny turritella looking gastropod? Appreciate any ID !

Could it be a trace fossil? Not my area but it kind of looks like it leads to the circled fossil, maybe a gastropod hard to tell with the photos. I have no idea if a snail would make that track, curious to see what it is

Very interesting. It does look like a long cephalopod with a coiled/ribbed exterior.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Now that I know it's a Bacculite I'm wondering if these are the same species,  also found in Eagle Ford but on bank of Trinity river.

Compare it to Sciponoceras gracile.  It looks like a very nice find.

Looks like another match.
