North Sulphur River Texas finds

I have a few finds from my last couple of trips to the North Sulphur River in Texas that I'm not quite sure of.DSC_2465.thumb.jpg.e802c495ccbbddfc8adbbe82ca871a27.jpgDSC_2466.thumb.jpg.418eecf400b83fbab00d7ef0c35c66c0.jpg

They look like crushed inoceramid valves.

Thanks! That helps a lot. I've found plenty of shells and shell imprints along the river, but wasn't quite sure what this was. I thought the crystal/fiber appearance in the cross section looked interesting, but wasn't sure if this was geological instead of biological. Looking at some other examples after seeing your reply, it certainly makes sense that it would be that.

I agree with parts of an inoceramid. 

Neat finds.
