Barker122797 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Found this fossil in North Texas dallas area (grapevine lake). No clue but resembles turtle shell? It's small - about 2-3 inches across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Welcome to TFF! Agree with echinoid shell. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

(Or Phyllacanthus?) @JohnJ Hard to say with a partial specimen, but based on the location and geology, I like Phyllacanthus. 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
