Gavin Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Found in the Sulphur river, Texas. This might just be a really weird rock but I would like to see if this is actually something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonianDigger Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 That one I would have to say is a fossilized hearing aid. (I don't know this one. But you can't tell me it doesn't resemble a hearing aid, lol.) Jay A.

DevonianDigger Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Then it's settled! We should write this one up for the journals. There's no doubt in my mind that this would be a paleontological first. "Late Stage Auditory Response in Cretaceous Sauropods", it just rolls off the tongue, lol. The real mystery is where they got the batteries! 2 Jay A.

DevonianDigger Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 But on a serious note, I am thinking some type of worm burrow and/or concretion. Jay A.

Gavin Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 That title sounds legit, most people would believe it I agree on the worm burrow also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimTexan Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 That may be what it is, but it kind of looks like tufa to me. Per Wikipedia “Tufa is a variety of limestone formed when carbonate minerals precipitate out of ambient temperature water.” You get odd, funky shapes that form that kind of look like something, yet are too amorphous to ever ID. That’s when I think tufa. Not directly related, but have you ever been to Mono Lake? It’s East of Yosemite National Park. It’s a tufa lake. Very cool to see. Strange and bizarre.
