Brazos Aaron Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hello, I caused a little bit of excitement at the DPS Fossilmania last month when I pulled this out. After going from person to person, the consensus was rudist. However, I wanted to get a few more opinions and see if possibly, we can get more specific. Found in Bell County, TX near Lake Belton. Possibly transported, so not sure of the formation, but definitely Cretaceous. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 The specimen looks to be a caprinid rudist. Here is an example: reference 3 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
