From the album: Lower Cretaceous Vertebrate Fossils of Central Texas
Unknown tooth, 2 tiny Pycnodontid teeth Upper Member, Glen Rose Formation, Trinity Group Albian (Lower Cretaceous) Blanco County, Texas The pycnodontid teeth are fairly common at this local. The longer tooth is quite different and I still do not have a solid ID© ERose 2021

Hi all, this is my first post so please excuse any mistakes. I found this Specimen in the Canyon Lake area if Central Texas. I haven't tried to remove too much of the limestone until I knew more about what this might be.

This fossil is in the visitor center at Westcave Preserve in Travis County. The stone was quarried from the Glen Rose Formation near Sisterdale, Kendall Co. This is a little over 10 inches long.© ERose 2021

This is another Pycnodontid tooth from the Walnut Formation showing a great deal of wear on one end. The other item in the image is a rather spiny crustacean leg I am still attempting to ID.© ERose 2021

I found this in the same area where I found the Corbula plate. Found west of Austin, on Highway 290. It was partially still covered, in the side of the road cut, when I slowly wiped away the matrix. Couldn’t believe the length. Immediately stopped collecting and took it to the car for safe keeping. It is not the shell itself but a mold of the shell. Always wondered on the identification. Can someone help me? Thank you in advance.

Echies of Texas (A Few Good Things from the Glen Rose Form.)
JamieLynn posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Central Texas has been experiencing a surprisingly cool September plus quite a bit of rain! And that equals some great fossil hunting! I have gone to a few old spots and a few new spots! All in the Cretaceous Glen Rose. I am just constantly amazed at the amount of fauna in the Glen Rose. It seems like I find something new just about every time I go out! I was happy to find a new species of echinoid - a Goniopygus sp. ( very different from the previous Goniopygus I've found) It's tiny tiny, only 5mm. And I found my first really good vertebrate material - a Pycnodont jaw with teeth and a large piece of turtle (plastron?). And even thought it's no echinoid...it's still an echinoderm - my best find of the month so far....a free swimming crinoid! I had never seen one of these but thanks to the Paleontological Society of Austin and our latest field trip, I found this lovely odd little thing! Plus some good Heart Urchins and some nice little Loriolias. Goniopygus sp. 5 mm Free Swimming Crinoid: 1/2 inch (1 cm aprox) Pycnodont Jaw with Teeth 1 inch A small Cidarid Fragment and some Leptosalenia and Cidarid spines A nice Heteraster obliquetus: 1 1/2 inch A decent Pliotoxaster comanchei. 1 1/4 inch A nice little Loriolia rosana 1/2 inch Turtle bone fragment 2 inches.thumb.JPG.b09bfa92e63c11852952d0cdd47bd26f.JPG)

Hello all! I purchased this fossil several years ago, The location given is 'Glen Rose, Texas, private ranch', and was labelled as 'Lower Cretaceous' coprolite on original matrix. I am 90% sure that the coprolites have been lightly stained with a brown stain. I have dozens of legit coprolite specimens from across the Southwest (but mostly Permian and Triassic), but I have never been convinced that this specimen, which definitely has potential for being authentic, actually is. Any insights you can provide would be deeply appreciated. [P.S., this is the 5th of 5 specimens that I'm posting for ID today; I deeply appreciate any insight that you can provide]. With gratitude, Ryan

From the album: Dinosaurs
I took this photo a while back in Dinosaur Valley State Park. Texas was in the midst of a drought, so the river that usually flows over the trackway was dry. I wish I had taken more photos (with a better camera too). These 3-toed theropod tracks are from the Early Cretaceous, and were likely made by Acrocanthosaurus.-

HI all! I found a new to me crab leg! At least I'm fairly sure it's a crab leg! But I have not seen one like this. It's from Canyon Lake area in the Lower Glen Rose formation. I've looked at some of the literature but am not seeing anything that looks similar. Any help would be appreciated!

I have been TRYING to find some shark teeth in the Cretaceous Glen Rose Formation around Canyon Lake (not a lot of shark teeth in the Glen Rose Formation!) But I know they are there...just far and few between, as my parents would say. Soooo....finally stumbled across this tiny little thing. It's not your classic cretodus, obviously, but could it be a tooth? With the root broken? What gives me pause is it is grooved along the front curved edge.. There is a distinct furrow. Perhaps it is an enchodus tooth? I don't know enough about vertebrates to know. Also, found a little group of what.I think might be pychnodont teeth, but I am just not sure! Any help with ID'ing these would be appreciated! Thanks so much! Tooth ? Measurement in inches All Four Sides: Top with furrow Side - you can see the furrow on the left side Underside (Back side) Pycnodont teeth? Measurement in Inches From the side

Found this fossil in central Texas (Glen Rose formation), but it was found in rock that was hauled in around my sister's house. So I don't know if it's Cretaceous or not (sure looks like central Tx limestone, tho).

Good evening I just now found this tooth so I begin digging around and have discovered the maxilla in the mandible including a whole bunch of teeth! But they are falling apart! I have pieces parts of everything else besides this one tooth! Does anybody happen to know what animal would have A tooth like this?

I found this in Glen Rose Texas, Summerville county, in the country in a creek bed. I was wondering what determines how this one is red? I have a lot of red rocks and fossils .
-
Good morning, I was hoping that somebody could let me know if one of those is sponge and the other one is coral? Or if not could you please tell me what they are? Also, these were found in Glen Rose Texas, in the country at a creek bed . And that is Somervell County

Hey y'all! Just a reminder that the 37th annual Fossilmania will be hosted again this year in Glen Rose during the weekend of October 25-27,2019. There will be many neat events including a guided trip to see the nearby dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park. Admission is free as always and hope to see ya'll there! The Dallas Paleontological Society is again running this event.

Found this in Medina County, not far from the Medina River. Is it a raptor claw and is there any way to tell which raptor?
