PaleoPat Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Only reason I think this may be something is because I found it next to four associated shark vertebrae. It's from Lake Texoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth929 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Looks interesting but I can't help, sorry. But there are a lot of people here who know TX fossil's well. What's the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil-Hound Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 @PaleoPat could you apply some water and a light toothbrush to it? It could be a brachiopod but I'm not sure. There appears to be six digits extending from a central half-spherical shape. Please see if you can clean it up and provide some clearer (closer) pictures. Do or do not. There is no try. - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I know nothing about Texan fossils, so I don't know the age or anything but if it's that long thing, hybodus sharks have spikes on their top fin. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil-Hound Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm going to have to defer judgment on this one as I'm not familiar with the rock structure or geology of the location. @Fossildude19 please call in the experts!

Plax Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Enocploclytia? or frag of some other big crab appendage??? (question marks indicate that I'm guessing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm seeing what looks like parts of ammonite in the concretion. The part that looks white in the pictures looks like the venter possibly. Plus, ammonite shell is often preserved as a crumbly white substance here. 1 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Copious apologies. This is one I have trouble making out from photos. I'm more of dynamic, in-hand analysis kind of guy. 1 Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erose Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'm with Dan. That puppy needs to be placed into the hands of some knowledgable collectors or scientists. Local museum, university or paleo society…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
