Jared C Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Here are some things I've had in the collection for a week or two but haven't ID'd yet. I'm starting to label my collection, so I'm trying to label some of the more obscure pieces as well 1) Water worn echinoid - from a creek in Austin, Texas on the Ozan Formation 2.) Piece of mammal enamel. Found on the same creek. I once found a piece of columbian mammoth enamel at this spot, and from that piece I'm going to guess that this is also mammoth. I'm basing that assumption off of the rough, textured backside of the enamel chip, which I was told to look for in Mammoth enamel piece in the fossil ID section. Can anyone confirm, add a pinch of salt, or deny? The wider chip on the left is my existing piece, the narrower one on the right is the one I'm trying to ID.

Harry Pristis Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Yep. It's stream-polished mammoth enamel. 2 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombk Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I’m not all that familiar with Cretaceous echinoids, but could that be some species of Tetragramma? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
