doushantuo Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 yes and no. The odds are this is not a macroscopic animal or vegetative fossil,but a structure called a concretion. However,concretions can contain fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS Ammonite Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Welcome to the Forum. Where in Texas did you find it? It looks most like a concretion. Calcite lined concretions are common in the upper part of the Eagle Ford Group rocks in central and northern Texas. Put some acid/vinegar on it to see if it fizzes. Does a steel knife blade scratch the light colored veins? 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

ynot Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I think the first piece looks like a small septarian nodule. The other pictures are not good focus, so can not say much about them. If You want a good id, You have to provide good pictures. 3 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

abyssunder Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The first specimen has infilled septarian propagation cracks, so it could be well a septarian nodule, as Tony said it already. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
