Cyclist Posted Wednesday at 11:59 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:59 PM I've had this limestone cast (?) on my back porch for a while now. I picked it up on a walk below my house, and thought it different than the various other oddities I pick up from time to time. I was wondering if this was perhaps some sort of ammonite cast. Any thoughts? Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites

rocket Posted Thursday at 12:22 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:22 AM you have the exact locality where you found it? I was never digging in texas, but had always great ammonites from there in the collection. There is a nice website with Texas fossils (not mine, perhaps the owner is a TFF - Member, do not know), perhaps you like to have a look North Texas Fossils Link to post Share on other sites

According to USGS - Pocket Texas Geology, Cretaceous, Gulfian, Austin Chalk. Southwest of Dallas/Fort Worth a ways. With a few exceptions, most of what I find are aquatic impressions of some sort. I enjoyed looking through the North Texas fossil site. Thank you. I've never found any sharks teeth, although I know some have been found with a few miles of me. I do find some rudist colonies, and enjoy prepping them for the fun of it. Better than whittling on a stick. The two pieces I submitted in my very first post here are, to me, the most unusual things I've found. They just very different. Pictured below are more typical of what I see on my walks or bike rides. Thanks for your response....... Link to post Share on other sites
