Ok I went out to the Wilson Claypit for a couple hours Sunday after church. Did not find much but a nice day. I found the two items below which have me stumped. I thought maybe interior structure of something maybe like Brachiopod or I don't know? Thought maybe interior structure from Crinoid or Urchin? Found the one with the two sides together then a 100 yards away found the other single. When I first noticed the one I thought it was interior of an old walnut but it is a fossil.

Last Sunday after church I decided to get outside for a little while. It was 38 degrees and windy but we had bought the grandkids some coveralls for Christmas so away we went. So my son and his two kids age 7 and ten loaded up and went out to a spot near Lake Brownwood to hunt some. This is an area we usually find lots of crinoid, gastropods etc but only occasionally find shark material. My son had his brain and eyes tuned in because he found 3 of the four petalodus pictured below. I just found the one small one. We did not find all the pieces but they went back together pretty good. He also found the hunk of cartilage. Of course the kids filled up a bag each of other fossils before deciding to start throwing them in the water was more fun.

I went out yesterday for about 3 hours to the Clay Pit in Coleman County. Although this is a good place to hunt it seems to be getting more and more picked over during the last several years. We don't get a bunch of rain and it dose not erode very fast. That said I found several fragments that I left for the next group of hunters and I found one decent broken tooth and a crinoid calyx. Also found one interesting itty bitty tooth.

I recently found these horn corals in a road cut near Gatesville TX. I am not as familiar with Cretaceous stuff so thought yall could help me ID. Thanks

I went out to a site near Lake Brownwood here in Cen Texas Penn last spring. To my disappointment the land owner had decided to cover the exposure with dirt so he could grow grass?! I have hunted this spot in the past and it yields very well preserved fossils but he had not quit cover a small wash so I was able to find some he had not buried. The next time I try this spot there will probably only be grass. "Bulldozer giveth and bulldozer takes away" as someone said one time.

I went out to a site near Lake Brownwood here in Cen Texas Penn for a little while this last Saturday. Found one Brachiopod that has some spins preserved which is very unusual for this part of the world. Also found a neat grouping of Brachiopods that cleaned up nice.

We are finally having a little winter weather and the kids and grandkids were here over the last week so the house was getting crowded. We got the kids out for a couple hours to let them run off some energy, at least that was my excuse for a short hunt at a spot near Lake Brownwood here in cen Texas. Kids found a lot of stuff mostly gastropods, crinoids, etc. but my son found a good petalodus. My wife was there so we got a few pictures. It was about 32 degrees with some wind so we only stayed about an hour and a half but I would have stayed longer of course.

I found this associated cartilage on one of my outings a couple years ago near Lake Brownwood here in central Texas. It is Pennsylvanian age like most of my stuff. I have been removing matrix and gluing together pieces off and on for over a year but I am about as far as I can go on this puzzle. I was just to late in finding this before the weather had scattered it and softened the edges. As far as ID I am supposing parts of skull or jaw. Still the second most cartilage I have ever found together or at least almost together.
