Hi All

 

I was in Cooke County, Texas earlier this week on business.  I had a little bit of time to kick around and went out to some of the creeks in the area.  Found something interesting.  This is from Spring Creek.  I think its either coral or byzoan but am not sure.  Can the folks on TFF take a look and let me know what it is for sure?  Thanks.

This is a burrow trace fossil. Likely Thalassinoides.

Thanks.  I didn't realize that the burrows got this big.
