Found at riverbed in Texas

You come up with some interesting finds. At first I would say no, but the more I look, the more I wonder. You said once that you were in Glen Rose(I think) so I believe that you may actually have a tooth or at least the shell of one before it was covered in lime mud and dissolved. Why not drive over to TCU and show some of your stuff to a geology or anthropology prof? And keep looking. There are lots more things, including tracks to be found there. And please keep posting. This stuff is fun to look at.

Thank you - I feel kind of unworthy on here. I don't really know what I'm doing. I just go "play at the river" while my husband goes fossil hunting. He and his kids found some really great fossils. I find things that look different or creepy or just a little cool. He is the serious fossil hunter of the bunch and so is his daughter. I just go along for the ride. Thanks for making me feel welcome - and yes, Glen Rose.

Glen Rose, Texas, I assume. Your find is almost certainly not a tooth. It may be a section of an invertebrate burrow - an ichnofossil.

Don't be too self-conscious on this forum. Sooner or later you'll have a fossil that would make any of us proud.
