Not sure what these are. They were found in Austin, Tx
I have several specimens that were found 75mi apart. Some were unearthed from several feet deep and others on top in Creek beds.
They make great door stops.

Did a little research online and discovered that the approx age is 150 Mya.
Google "common shell fossils in central" TX.
They are common here if you know where to look.
