Found in Creek Bed

Recommended Posts

After several days of rain we finally had beautiful day to take our dogs swimming at a Carrollton Greenbelt.  As they where splashing around I looked down and found this fossil in creek bed. Does anyone have idea what it's from? Very heavy like petrified. Obviously its mouth (upper or lower) of something. I looked for more "parts" laying around but found nothing - of course was sinking in soft rock/dirt of creek bed hence did not spend a lot of time digging around. 

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated but please speak in layman's terms - although finding interesting "rocks" is enjoyable thats as far as I can describe them so finding this is way out of my league. 

 

Thanks so much,

This looks like a part of an ammonite, although the pictures are a bit small.

Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils :)

I agree with a septa (segment) of an ammonite. This picture is from a previous forum post.
