Howdy folks, Yesterday I decided to cut up some of my oddball Eagle Pass, TX stuff. Here are a few pics.....Mel I love fossils that polish and of course what does Texas have, tons of flint sometimes with fossils. Here are a few slabs of fossiliferous flint: Mostly clams: Mostly Turritella type snails: Guess you'd call this Texas Picture Jasper as the makeup is similar to a lot of the northwest stuff, kind of a silicified sediment. Little closer look:

All cool pieces. Your turritella types, all 3 have a pic of something. A woman looking left, a comet, and Frosty the snow man pointing up and looking. Do you see em? Like that picture jasper too

I like them all , especially the first ones, most fossilstones i find and see on the net , are black or other dark background, with the fossils a lighter color . these are opposite

Oh, I love the fossil stones. I agree the light background with the fossils is so special.
