TexasFossil Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi all! My 6 year old son found this in a river bed in Austin, TX. We have a lot of limestone from the Cretaceous. He is so proud of his find! But we don't know what it is. Could anyone help us identify it?? He would be so thrilled. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptychodus04 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Looks a lot like Mesalia sp. but all turritellids may look the same when preserved as a steinkern.
