JamieLynn Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Hi all! I had an excellent hunting trip up in Round Rock Texas with a friend yesterday. Lots of exogeria, small heart urchins, oyster shells and such. I did find one thing that I can't identify. It reminds me of a squished barnacle. The striations are on both sides. Any ideas?

truceburner Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Can you post some larger pictures? These are pretty small for ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieLynn Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 stumbled across some pictures that look similar to this piece and are identified as Parasmilia Coral - austiensis, possibly.....can anyone confirm this id? www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erose Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Parasmilia is a possibility. There were a number of different species. It is very water worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
