austinswamp Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hello, I came across this rock protruding from the bank along a spring in SE Austin. There was plenty of Flint around and a few mollusks. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 The first item looks like a cross section through a gastropod. Not sure about the second item. Some other angles on the second item may be helpful - sides, directly above. Photos taken at oblique angles are hard to judge sometimes. 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

abyssunder Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The pattern of the first picture reminds me of Turritella/Cerithium gastropods in longitudinal mid section.
