aggie1997 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hello: I found at an East Texas construction site. It appears to be in sandstone. i can see a rib cage and forearm. Any comments are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTexan Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 May we have the closest town to determine the formation and age? Much of East Texas is late Paleocene to early Eocene, but north of I30 the picture is a bit different. May we have closeup pics of the area where you see fossil material? To get around the file size limit I email 4 pics or so to myself. When it asks what size to send chose an option less than 3.9. Email them to yourself. Then save the smaller file size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 It would be nice to see more detail, but there is very little chance that Ludwigia has missed anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarrodB Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Very few fossils in East Texas. That's a suggestive rock. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This app for Iphones is great for reducing image size. It may be easier than what you are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Definitely not a reptile embryo, but more close-up images may reveal that I'm wrong or not guessing there might be worm traces on the surface.
