first here

Looks like a badly eroded marine mammal vertebra.

If it was found in Texas it is less likely to be marine mammal. I still think it looks like the centrum from a vertebra though.

The herbivore tooth is either Bison or cow lower tooth. I think that it is not sufficiently robust or large enough in occlusal length to be Bison.

Rockwood... I just posted a mammal vert last night.  Please comment on whether you can recognize a marine vert from the texture of the bone because I try to do the same.

The first bone may be a femur cap that wasn't fused so it separated from the rest of the bone, that would be why it's curved in side view. If so it would have come from a non adult animal.

The texture in the centrum of some large whales is quite distinctive almost cubic looking. I would have trouble distinguishing the texture in your post from that of a smaller vert in my collection from the Potomac River in Verginia though. I don't have any firsthand experience with fossil non marine mammals though. Just roadkill, winter kill, and the remains of coyote bait. So, basically, no. :)

This is not a Texas find this was passed down. Origins unknown.

Also it’s my understanding that the Permian basin was at one time a Sea. I find what I consider marine fossils quite regularly. I say this as a humble newb thanks for your input.

This was my first guess. Thanks
