Now that I have a loop I am 're-discovering' things I have collected, like this which I dismissed as a concretion or nodule.  Now I see a an Echinoid right? Can't remember exactly where I found it it's been so long, somewhere in Eagle Ford. Is there enough of it to identify?

Awesome little echie!  If it did come from the Eagle Ford Formation, it could be a Mecaster or Hemiaster species.  Prep and a review under magnification would be needed for a more specific ID.  Congrats.

 Thank you!  I looked those up and they are so similar I sure can't tell by this.

Again, if it came from the Eagle Ford in North Texas, it is an uncommon find.  :)
