Vieira Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Looks like some type of Shell....like a group of little Oysters attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandpa Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I don't know what the age of the formation is, nor am I familiar with the fauna found in Saudi Arabia. So, based on little-to-no knowledge of what I'm talking about, I'd have to agree that if I found these in the cretaceous exposures around Austin, Tx., I'd ID them as a group of oysters. Sorry, I can't get you any closer than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm not familiar with what is found in your area, but judging only by the photo I would say oyster. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
