tmaier Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 The first one is a sea urchin (echinoid). Nice one, too. The second is a snail (gastropod). Could be glued back together. The third one... I don't know what that is. Georgetown TX is upper cretaceous, about 65 to 85 million years old. http://www.paleoportal.org/index.php?globalnav=time_space§ionnav=state&name=Texas I type in "echinoids texas cretaceous" into google and a pretty good web site comes up ... http://www.northtexasfossils.com/regularechinoids.htm Compare the features on your sea urchin to the images on that page, and see what you think it might be. (it may be none of them!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
