galaxy777 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I can't identify these brachiopods, nor the formation they are in but it may be Austin Chalk. Some help I am.. huh? I found them in a dry creek bed in Denison, Texas (Grayson County) that runs along waterloo lake (actually a 4 acre pond). Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 They are bivalves; Neithea, I believe. Nice!

PaleoTerra Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Definitely Pecten (Neithea), possibly quinquecostatus Sowerby. A type of scallop most likely Cretaceous age. Very nice ones at that! Nicely photographed composition as well! Edited September 14, 2013 by PaleoTerra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
