MSirmon Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Picked up a piece of limestone in a creek bed Between Hunt and Ingram TX. What Is this? More importantly, how would be the best way to get it out of the matrix? I believe the area is Cretaceous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Looks like a quartz pebble with some shell fragments around it. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 possibly an anomiid (jingle shell)? I'd give that rock a light tap and hope for the best. It also looks a tad like a terebratulid brachiopod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
