hwwii2 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Here are a few interesting items found this weekend at the Waco Pit (Waco, Texas). What i suspect is an echinoid spine (??) (#1) is something i had not seen before at this location. I also thought the serpulid (harmulus morton ??? maybe) (#11) worm tube with its 6 ridges was interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 #1 looks like a sea urchin spine to me as well. I can't help you with the ?worm tube. I'm not familiar with the fossils fauna of that formation. 1 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...
Tidgy's Dad Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I agree with sea urchin spine. The worm genus is Hamulus. (not harmulus). Hamulus onyx, maybe? 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Coco: Thank you! The goal was to avoid confusion. When you see a photo of something like an ammonite, there is no telling what the size actually is. The ammonites from the Waco Pit are really tiny. #3 is one of the largest I have found there. A few miles north (and a few million years in geological history), the ammonites can be two feet across.

Coco Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 This is a very good thing! Most of the time, when people arrive on the forum they put neither rule nor number to their photos, and even sometimes no text. I wanted to give you an example Coco 1 ---------------------- OUTIL POUR MESURER VOS FOSSILES : ici Ma bibliothèque PDF 1 (Poissons et sélaciens récents & fossiles) : ici Ma bibliothèque PDF 2 (Animaux vivants - sans poissons ni sélaciens) : ici Mâchoires sélaciennes récentes : ici Hétérodontiques et sélaciens : ici Oeufs sélaciens récents : ici Otolithes de poissons récents ! ici Un Greg...
