JHO708 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Hi - any help identifying these specimens would help. Found on lower Brazos River in Fort Bend County, TX. Thanks - JHO708 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baking Geologist Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 To me your second specimen looks like a piece of water worn quartzite. However, your 3rd specimen is part of a tabulate coral. I’ll let others tackle the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 10th and 11th pictures remind me of an Equus tooth fragment 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Y’all’s Texas water does some pretty bonkers stuff to the color of your fossils. Down here you get to choose between dark brown or dark brown. I’m not sure I’d have been able to distinguish these from the flotsam and jetsam in the sieve. 9/8/7 photos have that interesting honeycomb pattern. Subtle but definitely organized. Good eye!!

Rockwood Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 The first one must be wood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Cole Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Thanks for sharing your finds! For future reference, it will help people comment with ID's easier if you number the items somehow when you include several items in one post. First item looks like petrified wood to me. Item in 7, 8, and 9 could be a fragment of mammoth enamel. I would want clearer pictures in daylight to be sure. That flip side in picture 9 really looks like the rough side of enamel to me. I can't strongly disagree with those saying coral, but I wouldn't normally expect coral where you're hunting. I agree that the item in 10 and 11 looks like a shard off a horse tooth. Item in the last three pictures looks to be mineral instead of fossil. Same for 4, 5, and 6. White river-worn, suggestively shaped stones. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
