willtexas07 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Any ideas, would be greatly appreciated. I do not think it is a rock in the matrix. Seems more like a shell. It sits with several layers of sandstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWill Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Sorry, I am not able to see anything definitive. Maybe better close-ups would show us what you're seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willtexas07 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 I will post better shots of the lead edge. It does not show well in the photos. Photos make it look like a rock. In person it looks like a shell. Maybe if I turn of the flash that will help too. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Looks like a shell, but, as Bob said...

Auspex Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I wonder if it could be a big "cave pearl", from the Edwards karst?

Ptychodus04 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 There are many species of clams with that overall shape and clams get rather large so that's not an issue. A couple clear photos and some locality info would be helpful.

Herb Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 looks like a concretion "center" with most of the outside shell eroded away.
