    Yeah, there was a movie about these! One of the main characters opened a business selling these. He would put rebar in the sand before a storm to get more strikes from the lightning. Then clean and polish them up.

    At that size, it could be a cat or small dog. Ask a veterinarian??? Maybe?

    There have been a few small dinosaurs found in Lake Proctor, about 30 minutes away.

    Another person said it looks like a gastropod that was common around here. Upright snail inside parts

    Interesting! Whatever it was must have been mostly destroyed when they made it into a caliche road(?).

      Top one is a rock, bottom is a tooth

      I don’t think the bottom is a tooth

      the botom looks like a claw. a dinosaur, or a large mammal. don’t know if you get ground sloths and chalicotheres in texas, though

      @leonardo-miranda Claws would be more curved than that. I also believe that the rock attached to the tooth is part of the tooth root.

      @a-trilobite doesn’t necessarily have to be that curved. If it’s a foot claw, for example. a sauropod spur, or theropod foot claw. with the horny sheath it would most likely be longer and curvier

    Looks like a fossiliforous limestone; maybe a coral, but very badly decomposed.

    Looks like the end of a worm tube; original sediments are light blue and tan, showing low-normal oxygen level. Versus the picture before you soaked it has a reddish brown environment, showing high oxygen/ high decomposing area. Probably all that is left of that critter; but you can check. Worm tubes were common in pre-dinosaur days, as “more c…[Read more]

    Yepperz! Most likely bone (lick it, if it sticks to your tongue it’s bone); or a schist; or a bone replaced by sand and schist chemicals.

    Color is indicative of low oxygen environment

    Looks like either the inside of a worm tube or a fish (unlikely).

    Fossiliferous limestone with severe erosion; most likely clams, oysters, etc

    Looks like mud- iron rock! Usually mud sticks to the iron in heavily alkaline soils; metal is usually iron, but Titanium and gold are found too.

    Michelle, Mackenzie has a great idea about using those other apps. Since the fossils are unique to different layers of the Earth, a handy app might be able to tell you a match to that exact bone.
