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.

especially cool that they're phosphatized like vertebrate material and sometimes shells. Were shark teeth etc found in the same bed?

Many teeth, dermal denticals, gastropods, by-valves, rostrum, coral or brazoan, etc., were also found. Am working on prepping them for photo-ing
