Don S Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 This was found in central Texas near some ammonites. The appearance is very different than the others. Does anyone know what this might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Welcome to TFF! The looks of it do seem to indicate some kind of cephalopod (you can see the lines separating the different chambers (septa?)). Which one, I can't say. I will tag in @Uncle Siphuncle, I think he knows quite some stuff about Texan ammonites Best regards, Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Uncle Siphuncle Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Yeah, that ammo has experienced some extensive high energy fluid transport, possibly multiple events. You might need to cover lots of ground upstream to find the source. As far as ID goes, no one can say much in that condition. Best bet is to note what formation is mapped a few miles upstream, then compare w ammos of similar proportions from the upstream faunal list. 1 Grüße, Daniel A.
