Could this be a fossil?

Can you share with my how I can make my own post? I have been trying for an hour now and I wanted to ask if anyone thought this could potentially be a fossil find or a waste of time. That piece was flipped up but you can see the discoloration and such in the side of the rock continue on.20180511_164225.jpg.245083dfd8b07d4d8655088afe87d5b4.jpg

This was found but we don't know if it is worth any looking into. The rock flipped up is what made him think it found be a fossil, and the discolored yellow throughout the rock from the one displayed to the bottom left screen.

Everyone here is going to need closer photos and a more precise location. :)

Sure is suggestive...but I've seen chert do some pretty amazing mimicry.

The aforementioned details are needed.

I agree, especially if I'm thinking of tripolitic chert. :)

It doesn't look like chert to me. Where in Texas is this?

Welcome to TFF!

It could be, but better close up pictures are needed. One of the ends where it is broken will help also.

I am seeing fossil impressions on the top of the large rock on the lower-left side of the first photo. Can’t say which impressions these are- I’m not in TX!

 

I am calling fossil for now, unless more detailed photos prove otherwise.

This map may help you determine the geologic time period for your find.

Looks like it might be in the Trinity Gp., Lower Cretaceous. Glen Rose, maybe?
