discsnstones Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Found this one near Dennison dam, lake Texoma on TX side. It was covered in a chalky limestone matrix which I have cleaned off and was found near waterline and not from nearby Weno formation overhead. There were many Scaphite and Hamite ammonites near this one, but again this was just laying on ground and not actually from the outcrop. I am guessing this is a broken Nautiloid? I would love to at least know the species if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I think it's an oyster.

araucaria1959 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I agree with oyster. There are thick-shelled ones in the upper cretaceous. araucaria1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
