FranzBernhard Posted Thursday at 06:33 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:33 AM (edited) Welcome to TFF from Austria! Considering your location, you are on Cretaceous ground. So Texas rule applies here: "If you find a cretaceous fossil in Texas and you can not ID it, its probably a rudist." In this case, it seems to be a steinkern (internal mold) of a rudist.

Franz Bernhard The thing is, I live right beside a creek bed that's full of these. They're even in the gravel on my driveway! I should have recognized it. In my defense, they usually aren't this well exposed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
