hndmarshall Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Is this what it looks like? ..... a crayfish? found in gravel drive west of Houston texas gravel from Brazos River. and from the looks of the shape of the stone there could be more lurking inside....sorry about photo quality will take more with good camera later am having a problem getting the photos to upload from camera.

Fossildude19 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Not seeing a crayfish, or any fossil here, unfortunately. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Tidgy's Dad Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I also just see a rock with possible tiny shell fragments, but they may be quartz. Can't see a fossil. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doushantuo Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 My two cents:is it just me,or is there nothing crustacean about this? I can see how someone could think this could be a vertebrate cranium,but,gee.. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I think I see it. You're thinking mold fossil with the claw leaning toward the coin ? It would indeed be an extraordinary fossil. As such it will require extraordinary evidence though. Not there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Man Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 All I see is a rock with what looks like shell fragments embedded in it. ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doushantuo Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I kind of hate to disappoint you,but the biogenicity of the piece remains pretty much in doubt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Still cannot discern anything fossiliferous in the stone.

SailingAlongToo Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Looks totally geologic to me, as in a water worn rock.

Rockwood Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I can see it being the badly eroded remains of a shell. I can even imagine it having been a crustacean claw. The problem is that I can also see it being a mineral layer that I can imagine these things being in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 nice pictures of a rock "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"_ Carl Sagen No trees were killed in this posting......however, many innocent electrons were diverted from where they originally intended to go.

I see something but you need to zoom in more for us to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
