Jiesen Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Hi all, I'm wondering if this might be a Requienia fragment? It's a circular, very flat piece, about 22cm (8.7") wide at the bottom, embedded in a block quarried from the central-Texas Austin Chalk. As you can see, due to the block being cut / broken off, it's shaped like a semi-circle, or maybe a setting sun, with some residual rock matrix in the center. Some faint stripes are visible that curve clockwise along with the general arc of the thing. It's VERY flat and thin. There's nothing to be seen while looking at the block from the lower side. Otherwise I would have included a pic. Any thoughts? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Are there Inoceramus fragments in the area? The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 If it is Austin Chalk, it is a possibility. They can be quite large. 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
