I found this a couple of years ago in North Texas.  I just found this website and I’m interested in exploring more.  Thank you for any help that you can offer.

I concur.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Next question; is it a fossil. This one could be a trick to tell. Does it seem hard as rock ?

It does not.  I can scrape it slightly with a fingernail.  Many thanks for the assistance.  I look forward to learning more from this site and the folks on it.

Even some "rock" can be scraped by a fingernail. An easy test is to hold a flame to it for a moment. If fossil - no stink, if bone - bad stink lol

Don't be surprised if after trying this you still don't know. I've never been able to tell anything this way. They always smell hot to me.
