Beekeeper Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I got in a nice sunset hunt last night. Heavy rain has washed a little of my hilltop spot away and I found some good stuff... A beautiful scallorn point, some 19th century glass, some shells, and a few unidentified things that caught my eye. They all either just looked out of place or appeared to have some form. Some might just be weathered rock. These were all found in Burnet County, Texas on the Eastern Edwards Plateau. I found a snapped stalactite base in this same formation so there might have been a cavern at some point at this spot. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beekeeper Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 I find these all over. Not sure what they are. (Sorry for the large pics & multiple replies, I'm posting remotely & can't resize the pics.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beekeeper Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 I thought this looked like a claw or maybe the rim of a shell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beekeeper Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thought this one could be a bone, it was sticking out like a sore thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 1 looks like weathered limestone, possibly from a cave feature 2 looks like a piece of ammonite 3 is a bone but not a clue to what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John K Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I thought this looked like a claw or maybe the rim of a shell? inner whorl of a Placenticeras ammonite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfrr Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 is that a toe bone in that 1st picture? nice point too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Not sure what the irregular trio is, but the partial ammonite may be an Engonceras sp. However, I don't see the large lobed sutures typical of the genus on your fragment, so it may be one of the other Albian aged ammonites in the area. The "bone" looking thing doesn't really look like bone to me...a lot of broken burrow casts in the local geology can imitate bones. Additional photos could provide more info. Looks like a varied and interesting hunt. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crinoid1 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Looks like you had quite a productive trip! I'm loving the partial ammonite. I like crinoids...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
