Cyclist Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Yes, it's part of an ammonite. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
