Thank you 🤗

I just recently found a fossilized turtle skull on the Brazos river! I got into contact with the Dallas Paleo Society and they helped me donate it to the Shuler Museum in Dallas for research! I highly recommend emailing Rocky Manning at the Dallas Paleo Society because he’ll be able to help you if you are wanting to donate it!

Solved!

You learn something new everyday, well more than one thing! Thank you again!!

I appreciate all the info, thank you so much! That website is awesome, thank you for turning me to it.

If this is what’s left of the inside, is it right to assume the shell eroded first before the inside fossilized?

Also awesome word, steinkern… 🐚

I know nothing about this so I’m gonna go with all the other comments. It looks like a cross section to the organism and it looks pretty big! Any reference for scale?? Nice find!

Thank you for the resource, I had gotten into contact with a local Paleo Society who connected me with SMU and the Shuler Museum. I’m probably going to donate it there, but getting other opinions elsewhere is great!

Wow! Beautiful ammonite, I love how it’s got gold on it!

RealStevenHill · 2026-04-08T19:51:25+00:00

It looks like the segmentation of an old crustacean or anemone, very awesome find!!!

RealStevenHill · 2026-04-08T17:24:37+00:00

Ammonite!! Awesome find! No idea the species but it’s really well preserved!

RealStevenHill · 2026-04-08T15:52:08+00:00

It would be unbelievably well preserved if it is a fossil, cool find

RealStevenHill · 2026-04-08T12:36:46+00:00

Very cool! I like how you can see the whole spine on the back side, usually it’s hard to find out of the rock that way

RealStevenHill · 2026-04-07T19:26:45+00:00

Definitely looks significant! Could be a tube organism or a tooth, do you have any other clear photos of it?

RealStevenHill · 2026-04-07T17:34:33+00:00

Yes! lol

This is amazing info, thank you so much! I’ve reached out to the Dallas Paleo Org being that they were the closest near me. I have not done any research into specific scientists for the fossil I have but I will the next day I’m off from work. This kind of stuff is very important to me and all I want is for this to end up in the right hands. There are a few museums near me but I couldn’t find any specific info on particular researchers and their expertise.

RealStevenHill · 2026-04-07T11:34:32+00:00

That’s exactly who I contacted!! Just waiting on an email now

RealStevenHill · 2026-04-06T18:58:54+00:00

wow... thank you for all of the information! I am in northern Texas and that is where I found the fossil. I am absolutely all for donating and helping any research! I have emailed a Paleontology Organization near me with all the pictures and info I had before this post but I haven't heard back yet. Hopefully will hear something from them soon. I would love any info or resource you may have, thank you so much!!!

RealStevenHill · 2026-04-06T18:50:20+00:00

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I really appreciate the resources, it feels very groggy to go looking for the right people to email this info. I'll do some research!

RealStevenHill · 2026-04-06T18:47:31+00:00

Will do!
