rickeclectic Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Dug around (the literature) for an id on this one. I think it is an Oxytropidoceras (does Adkinsites make any sense?) but any help appreciated. I have had it for a year or so, but just took the time to glue it back together and clean it. It is from central Texas and, obviously, Cretaceous. I looked for some pix to compare it to, but most of what I found was not very clear and not very definitive. Its got that cool "flames" set of sutures (like you see on old hot rod cars), haha. 1
rickeclectic Posted November 6 Author Posted November 6 One more thing I forgot to mention, it is very thick in cross section. At its widest point (on the open end) it is about 3 inches (about 7.5 cm) thick.

Jared C Posted November 6 Posted November 6 What formation was it found in? If Comanche Peak formation, then I agree Oxytropidoceras “Not only is the universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think” -Werner Heisenberg
rickeclectic Posted November 6 Author Posted November 6 Yup. Based on the USGS TX site ( https://webapps.usgs.gov/txgeology/ ) which I love, it is Comanchean. Thanks and thanks for the quick response! 1
