I took his photo yesterday on the six mile (round trip)hike from the Rio Grande Village to the HotSprings in Big Bend National Park in Texas. This was closer to the Hotsprings. What is / was it? -Don- (Now I am near Carlsbad Caverns, NM)

Yeah, that's a fossil. And at one time I could have told you in a general way what it was. Not this morning, though.

Nautilus shell. Better condition than many I have seen.

Nautilus shell. Better condition than many I have seen. Thanks! I figured somebody here would know. I wasn't even 100% sure it was a fossil, but I expected it most likely was. It's nice to know for certain. -Don- Whites City, NM

My brain went up in smoke, too. Not that I've seen many, mostly trilobite fossils for me. On a side note, that looks like a great place to ride a dual sport.

I recommend you report it to the park officials.

Actually, ammonite, not nautilus, though they might be pretty nearly the same thing.
