Brad1978 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Found these today on two seperate occasions. Both of them were inside of a rock. I wasn't lucky enough to get them out without damage but I certainly tried. The flint that was wrapped around them was almost impossible to fracture. I used a welders chipping hammer. I don't recommend using one for extracting fossils. These were found on the Dry Frio River near Uvalde, Tx. It used to be the cretacious lower gulf so there is a multitude of marine fossils to find.

Kane Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 How big are they? It always helps us to provide a scale. Do read the pinned posts on posting in Fossil ID. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Interesting. I've never seen one that small before. Could you post a picture of the one on the right, from the top so we can see the hinge? ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
