I found this in a creek near Glen Rose TX. It’s supposedly from the Glen Rose Formation and would be considered the Cretaceous period. If anyone one knows what it is that would be nice to put a name to it. It is 5 cm length and 6 cm height wise. Thanks!

This is a steinkern (internal mold) of a bivalve.

Sometimes colloquially called "deer heart clams" or "Turtle head clams".

Compare to Cucullaea sp.
