MSirmon Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Can someone help identify this partial shell found during an agate dig just outside Menard TX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 That looks like an oyster,maybe Gryphaea.

JohnJ Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 It will be hard to determine from such a small fragment and the variety of oysters in the local formations. It could possibly be a partial Ceratostrean sp. or Texigryphaea sp. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guguita2104 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Imo it's a shell fragment of a Gryphaeidae bivalve (maybe Texigryphaea sp. or Exogyra sp.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
