Renee351 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Found this earlier while shark tooth hunting. Just trying to find out what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Oyster shell. Hopefully someone will pop in to narrow down the genus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 The oysters from Sherman Texas found in the uppermost Eagle Ford shale are Cameleolopha bellaplicata. Some have coral and/or bryozoan growing on them. See the publication: "The Late Cretaceous oyster Cameleolopha bellaplicata (Shumard 1860), guide fossil to middle Turonian strata in New Mexico" found at link 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...
Rockwood Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 You might be surprised how many fossils you find if you quit looking for teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 You will probably find more where you found that one. Oysters are seldom preserved as single specimens. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee351 Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thank you all. I’ve definitely been looking more into fossils rather than teeth but the teeth are a lot harder to miss where I go. These are some fossils I found yesterday!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the other people I go with can’t find em like I can either. I can sit down and find 5 within a few minutes. I think I’ve made 5 trips total and have over a hundred.
