DeniseD Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 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, D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belemniten Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 This looks like a part of an ammonite, although the pictures are a bit small. 1 Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils Regards Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I agree with a septa (segment) of an ammonite. This picture is from a previous forum post. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
