DKWS Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKWS Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 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.

Auspex Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 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.

One of the ends where it is broken will help also. Regards, Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

FossilSniper Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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