hadleybee Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hello, I'm new and know next to nothing about fossils. Found in the Texas Hill Country in the bed of the Frio River. The picture doesn't show, but the shell sparkles. The opposite side of the rock (not pictured) shows only rock, no shell. Thanks in advance for any info. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Welcome to the Forum. Without seeing more of the shell, you have a pectin or a relative of a pectin ( superfamily Pectinoidea) It is most likely a Cretaceous Neithea sp. 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzviking Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Welcome to the forum from sunny Florida. Agree with DPS. If you take a picture of the side it appears to have a possible sea snail on the upper right side of the pectin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
