swr10a Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Found this in grey county in the panhandle of Texas. I am unsure if it is a rock or a fossil. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hard to tell from pictures, if you could take some with plain background it may be more clear, notice how the background is in focus more than the item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 If not geological maybe a trace fossil?

I kept stuff like this early on, but eventually ran out of space for it. Now, I generally don't keep them unless I think they can be IDed (by either animal or which bone). My husband still picks up every little piece of bone he finds (and then I have to make room for it somewhere). 2 Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.
