michalex19 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hey I found this in the Peace river. It dosn't resemble anything else we found there, and being from Texas, I'm not exactly sure what it could be. Any help would be great! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2395/226243...b4951ae51_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
