New Members SpeedOof Posted May 9 New Members Share Posted May 9 (edited) Found this at a spot along the Blanco river in Texas that is decent for finding Rams horn fossils. I am not very knowledgeable of fossils and rocks in general, any help will be appreciated Edited May 9 by SpeedOof pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Yes, this does have the outer appearance of a tooth or claw, but it looks to me to be an interestingly shaped rock, since the texture doesn't fit with either. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Rockwood Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 A good look at the texture is needed because oysters can be this shape if they form in crowded conditions. At this point I tend to lean towards that identification. It's by no means certain though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Cole Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I might also consider the point of an antler tine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cavity doesn't reach this far towards the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Cole Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 It looks to me like it's mostly solid with broken or eroded portions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
