every now and then i run across a deposit of these cylindrical guys on the neches river. i’m guessing they are some kind of filled in critter burrow but interested to hear what you think. also, when my wife wants to know why I keep them around I’d love to be able to throw a scientific term at her to justify the shelf space 😂25D78B02-44F3-407F-9B96-06067F8C57D2.thumb.jpeg.f2b5278d7995377c67bb79d38b52d275.jpeg53F00482-9C9F-4CE1-AFB0-C92FA7FD8BDB.thumb.jpeg.3aba3531a72377de4bfec62347e5835e.jpeg4CD7150D-7685-4607-ACF2-09B364CBA137.thumb.jpeg.5d3031e151478334824fc2fc111e7b9a.jpeg

Critter burrows they are. Also known as trace fossils. You might just get away with the ichnogenus Thalassanoides, but it's really not for certain.
