FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

Hey@thomas-williams ! This looks like a possible fossil, but its hard to tell because of the matrix on it. Depending on where you found it, there a lot of Early Cretaceous marine or deltaic strata near Copperas Cove.
Thank you for the reply. It’s certainly strange looking. The pictures don’t do it justice as far as shape. It looks like a giant finger.
Hi @thomas-williams & @matthew-gramling – Do you all think it could be a rudist clam? Here is a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudists
They were colonial reef building animals in the Cretaceous… so there could be fragments of several here. It’s hard to tell but that’s a guess, anyway!
I think Rudist Clam is very likely
I would agree as well.
