D4Bear Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Found these near Austin and the one on the left looks like it could be a femur of something and the one on the right I'm not sure of but it feels and looks like the same as the other one.

Misha Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Probably not fossils, and definitely not a femur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilus Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Often the Cretaceous limestone rocks around Austin are weathered in the shapes of bones, but are still just weathered rocks. Still though, often they contain snails and clams which are true fossils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannes Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 maybe trace fossils, thalassinoides-like fragments.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBI Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I found something very similar to the one on the left. Haven’t been able to identify it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some very lovely and often extremely well preserved shell fossils to be found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
