Found in the Cretaceous Arcadia Park Formation from the TXI Quarry in Midlothian, Texas. It is Prionocyclus bosquensis according to Jim Kennedy, Professor Emeritus of Natural History at Oxford. He also first described the species. See his paper describing this and other species: Kennedy, W. J. 1988. Late Cenomanian and Turonian ammonite faunas from northeast and central Texas.

Phosphate object from Martin Marietta (formerly TXI) Quarry, Texas
DinoMike posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this object partially visible in a chunk of matrix from the Martin Marietta quarry near Midlothian, Texas. (Formerly the TXI quarry.) The site is listed as being basal Atco contact between the Eagle Ford shale & the Austin Chalk. The rock I found this in was Eagle Ford shale. At first I thought it might be a tooth, but on-site tentative ID was possibly brachiopod, but as the ends were buried in matrix, no one could be sure. I do note a "ridge" down one side that LOOKS almost like the worn serrated edge of a tooth, but the broken end of the piece doesn't look like tooth structure.- 4 replies
