Real fossils?

[Nathan W]

My grandfather had to move into assisted living so I grabbed a few things before his house is sold. He told me he got these in Texas back in the 80’s. He didn’t have any other info or at least he didn’t tell me. Just wanted to see what you guys think

How old is your Grandfather if I be so bold to be asking?

There is a reservoir in OK where you can find those. Can’t remember which one.
