Marine coprolites? Maybe?


Kimberly C

Recommended Posts

Hello, I find a lot of what I believe to be marine fossils from the Cretaceous period  on my land up in Grayson County, North Texas, but I am not certain what kind of fossils they are. Here are pictures of what I think are coprolites? Thank you in advance for your help in identification.

Welcome to the Forum Kimberly. You have pieces of oysters and or bivalves in a Cretaceous rock that is sandstone or limestone. 

 

Take a look at this geology map to see if you can find out what formation they are from. Let us know what you find out.

A good source of info for north Texas fossils is: http://northtexasfossils.com/

 

Also, consider joining the Dallas Paleontology Society: https://www.dallaspaleo.org/

 

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.   

See my Arizona Paleontology Guide    link  The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.
