It looks like part of an ammonite.

My cousin used to do road work up around Glen Rose and he used to bring me whole fossils like the one you have.Said they have found them to about a foot across.It is also probably limestone.

limestone? umm it weird looking if its limestone.

I agree it could be limestone, i just brought back 50 pounds of pink, rust, and red limestone from my family cabin in Utah..Limestone can come in many different textures and colors.

Welcome home!!

[Goathead]

thanks, and im happy to be home. It was more hard work than i have had in a long, long time....But well worth it, the cabin looks amazing...

Do you have any pics of those rocks you brought back?

Are you planning to use them in an aquarium?

I agree that it looks like an ammonite fossil. I have one somewhere around in one of my rock bins. I found mine in Clear Creek bewteen Aubrey and Sanger. Its not whole, but it still pretty cool. I took it out of the tank as it was leaching into the water, but that was when I was using RO water and trying to raise discus. Pretty cool find XTC, now ya just gotta get a few more and you will have a "prehistoric" display.
