Found on the Trinity River near Trinity TX. Very large, odd conglomerate. Looks like Exogyria Ponderosa, but then has this odd side growth? Any help would be appreciated!  (that's a quarter next to it for scale)

I think, there are two oysters attached to each other.

They look close to Crassostrea, maybe something like Crassostrea virginica, but the geological age and the location might be not proper for that.
