Suvi Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hi All, I have found these at different times in N. Texas, in upper cretaceous, Eagle Ford, with marine; ammonites, crabs etc. These, I have no idea, except that they sort of look like scales. All have very pearly look and smooth feel, with translucence to them. One photo shows the back side of the 3, with one having stone on the back side, mounted to same materia as most of the fossil finds around them. For some reason they do not look or feel as old though, however the one with stone on the back has me wondering. The close up (2nd photo) shows tiny pits on the surface, and all of the three have one larger pit in the middle and many surrounding on the surface. This makes me think of marine as well, not sure why. Please look at the photos and let me know if you have any thoughts or can steer me to the right direction. As always, everyone here ROCKS (pun intended...?), and thank you in advance for looking. -S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
