Stan Simpson Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 These 3 pieces were found near Houston Texas in a dredge operation. They are fossils but look like pieces of modern antlers. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyc Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I agree they are all antler. Not sure what beasts they came from. On a side note I have been appreciating all of your posts. I would love to know where the dredging operation that these fossils came from is/was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptychodus04 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Fossilized deer antler is not unheard of from Texas. I have a piece from the Sulphur River.

sseth Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Incredible find. I have a huge fossil antler collection myself. I am fascinated by them. I believe yours to be from "Odocoileus virginianus" based on time period and region. Fantastic finds.
