Michaelroof Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I have what appears to be fossils all over the property i bought last year. We are located in North Texas, the area is very sandy with layers of rock. Ammonites are everywhere here. Large ones that measure 3-4 feet across. I will post some of the images I have. I will provide more details in the days to come, along with measurements as requested by some of the more experienced folks. Any idea what this is? It's about 14-18 inches long. As stated, more precise details to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Looks like weathered limestone to Me. Not seeing any fossil. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Michaelroof Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Very hard, yet shaped so unusual. Not sure why limestone would form like this, but that is what makes life so interesting. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Not formed like that in particular, it weathered away less resistant areas to look like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatinformationist Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Yep, limestone weathered, rode hard and put up wet. Keep on rockin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I agree with the others. Got any pics of your 3-4 foot ammonites? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
