rickeclectic Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Found this a couple of years ago in some road construction in central Texas. Kept chipping away around it as I thought it was a couple of large rudists, but it turned out to be one weird one! Only one I've seen. About the size of a Softball. The rudist part is very hard stuff (and so is the surrounding matrix). Anybody else seen any of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieLynn Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Looks like a Toucasia rather than a Diceras. They are "relatively" common in the Texas Hill Country and have that exact shell color and texture. www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I agree with Jamie, that's not a diceras. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) "We only well see with the heart, the essential is invisible for the eyes." In memory of Doren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
