Auspex Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think it may be a partial ammonite.

sward Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Sherry, Welcome to the forum from DFW as well. We're in a great location for fossil hunting. As auspex said, it looks like it may be a segment of an ammonite. It looks like it may similar "bumps" as this Keep looking and keep us posted on what you find.

sherry McKown Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 I hope you can tell more about my mystery fossil from these pictures. Sorry they are so blurry it's the best I can do with my camera. Thanks for the responses I really appreciate it. It's flat on one side with what likes like a piece of wood and a large stem looking piece sticking out one end the other end is rounded. I has bumps all over the top that appear to have been thrones.

Auspex Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 It is a partial Mammites-type ammonite. LINK to images.
