nearpass Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Picked this guy up at a fossil shop in Glen Rose, Texas, supposedly collected locally, so I'm just guessing at the ID since I'm not up on Texas fossils. Pretty worn, but quite big...it must weigh two pounds, and I thought it would make a nice display piece. Before: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prem Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Interesting...I found a piece of Cephalopod on a roadcut near Glen Rose when I was a teen and always thought it was just a Turrilites of some sort. Is there a way to distinguish between these genera? ---Prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
