    Oh, and I have ammonite pieces in at least three or so storage bins, just not a complete one. I have my big half piece that covers my arm from my elbow to about the tips of my fingers. lol!!

    This clump is part of the other blob I posted with the devil’s toenail and internal mold of the oyster. It’s all one clump. But I didn’t think this side was much of anything.

    Found in the “front” section of the neighborhood I live that had a boom of new house construction. I have a few that look similar but found in different places. Some are just on the side of the country road that leads to the back side (where I live) of the neighborhood. This is in Georgetown, TX.

      This is a lovely piece of limestone, unfortunately I don’t see any fossils in it. Ammonites are not an uncommon fossil in your area, keep an eye out for spiral-shaped shells.

      Looks like Gryphaea or devil’s toenail

      Great find! This is indeed the internal mold (AKA Steinkern) of an oyster, probably a Gryphaeid. You’ve added enough information for it to be marked research grade! Nice job

      Nice find! Another oyster, I would guess Exogyra but as I am no oyster expert to err on the side of caution I’ll stick to Gryphaeidae.

    What is this? Found in construction area for new homes in an established neighborhood in Georgetown, TX, near 200 S. Ocatillo Ln, 78633 (behind my house).  Are these photos okay or should I retake them?  The thing in question is stuck to the rock.  A geologist I sent a photo to thinks it may be a seed pod, and a paleontologist he spoke to th…[Read more]

      Hi @junie-besteiro! Would you be able to post more photos with different angles and include different sides of the specimen? this almost looks like a rattlesnake shed

    Thank you for all of the information you’ve sent so far, I am so excited! I will work on this today and upload better photos and add the information. I also deleted the other photo and post so I can re-submit the proper way. Speaking of proper submissions, I am going to spend some time watching the tutorials. lol Thank you, again, for your help!

    This ammonite is my favorite find so far. I wish I could find the other half but I’m afraid a street is paved over it already. #fossil #collectionsite

      If you would like it to go into the eMuseum can you include picture with a scale of some sort (like a ruler), the formation it was collected from, age, and likely taxon? Multiple angles would be great as well. Thanks!
