Can someone Identify these?

Can anyone identify these oysters, they maybe a type of Texigryphaea, but they're just to big. They are over 3" and most I have found are about an 1" and not much more. They were found in the Lower Cretaceous just above a layer of Ilymatogyra arietina. Also they have a large beak at the start of their growth.

Found out, it's Texigryphaea roemeri, seems they can look like anything. Maybe they just need a bow tie.

Chucks- 1 minute too late with the ID

I enjoyed your photos and an glad you got your fossil ID. I kind of doubted if a member
would come up with an ID as it most folks here at not experts. It would be a victory to just ID it as an oyster shell for most.

I am glad you have a passion for fossils(I do too).

Happy Hunting

I have found this type of oyster before, but they were in very sad shape, these I lucked out on because the Highway department is enlarging the road and cut through a hill. I went and asked them if it would be ok if i could look for fossils when they were not working. It rained everyday for almost a month. Being retired, I took advantage of it and was out there to get stuff rain or shine. In fact, I lost a pair of boots to the mud there. But I found some really good stuff.
