I don’t recognize any of a barnacle distinctive detail. We’ll need pictures taken in daylight for better quality.

 

BTW, we’re on an international forum, the non-American community is very large here. Please use cm or inches for the size of your items, there are only Americans (and it seems Canadians) to know the size of your paper money :Wink1:

EDIT : I saw too late that you’re going to buy a rule tomorrow... :blush:

You are some way from texas, still it looks somewhat rudistlike to me, but hard to tell from the pics.

Best regards,

The Platteville Formation occurred roughly 450 million years ago.  Barnacles did not exist for another 100 million years. Rudists not for another 300 million years. I agree it looks like a bunch of shell hash.

It looks like coquina.
