Copper Canyon Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 My son found this is our yard. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieLynn Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Hello! For Identification, there are a few necessary things you need to provide - something for scale, preferably a ruler, plus location information. This is an international forum so we need at least state and preferably county if in the US. Also, this should go in the Fossil ID rather than micro paleontology. An Admin can switch it over. @Fossildude19 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copper Canyon Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 From North Texas, USA. found in our neighborhood. We are a recent build so it could be native or brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I'm wondering if this might be part of an ammonite keel or an imprint thereof. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieLynn Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 it does look like our Texas limestone, so I would say it's probably native. It could be a section of ammonite as Ludwigia says, but it could also be burrows of crustaceans - ichnofossils or trace fossils. It's such a small chunk with no other really discernable features, it's hard to give a full ID. Definitely a neat find that makes some good yard art and conversation piece! www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS Ammonite Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Just now, doushantuo said: Reminiscent of Eodouvilleiceras clansayense, and bypassing all other considerations, BTW Are you suggesting that it is part of the septum or suture of an ammonite? My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.
