JohnJ Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Generally, where was this found? It reminds me of rudist bearing limestone. 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The tube like holes and curved linear segments are very typical of rudists found in that part of Texas. They were strange bivalves. 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 It looks like a bivalve steinkern...maybe Artica roemeri or a Liopistha sp. They can be very common in the Glen Rose limestone around Canyon Lake. 2 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
