    Hi,

    I’m trying to identify this fossil from Texas.  I don’t know enough about what it is to even describe it for an internet search.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Although often mistaken for a trilobite, this is not a fossil at all. You will note that you can crush it with your fingernail.

    It is the egg case of a praying mantis from the 2010’s.

    Thanks Asa.  Now I don’t have to worry about breaking that so I can look at the real fossils in the rock.
