New Members Moloch333 Posted September 6 New Members Share Posted September 6 I found this in a dried up riverbed while searching for arrowheads which are quite abundant around this area in Texas...any help identifying it would be much appreciated. I'm pretty new to this sort of thing, so I'm pretty much clueless as to what it could be. I thought it was really neat so it came home with me.

BobWill Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 We ask for a location to determine the age of the deposits where fossils are found. This helps eliminate possibilities. This can vary wildly even within a single county in Texas. The nearest town or searchable landmark may be helpful. That said, I don't recognize any features on your find that helps me identify it as a fossil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Does it fizz in acid? My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Possibly an ichnofossil, but could be a sedimentary structure as well. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

JamieLynn Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 De Leon is in an interesting geologic area, with both Cretaceous and Carboniferous nearby, but it looks geologic to me. 1 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I am not seeing the textures of wood in Moloch's item, that do appear in your item, @diggumdave.

Buffalopterus Posted Saturday at 01:36 AM Share Posted Saturday at 01:36 AM to me it looks like some weird sedimentary structure, however, if the specimen was turned horizontally and those are actually bedding partings, then they could be some sort of worm burrows crosscutting the partings. But more likely some sort of soft-sediment deformation. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertramp Posted Saturday at 06:46 AM Share Posted Saturday at 06:46 AM Look like "injectites" (not sure that's the correct english for the italian "strutture di iniezione"); ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
