TroyB Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hi all, I recently have found trace fossils called Rhizocorallium. It is possibly from the feeding burrows of a Crustacean, annelid type creature. Found in the ~90 million year old marine shallow seas of the Cretaceous period contact between the Austin chalk and Eagleford shale formations. These are very small ones. From the Martin Marietta cement quarry phosphate layer siftings. 5 Tankman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 especially cool that they're phosphatized like vertebrate material and sometimes shells. Were shark teeth etc found in the same bed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am working on prepping them for photo-ing Tankman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
