Texas Ray Dental Plate Identification

Ray Dental Plate is a realistic Texas fossil profile built around flattened crushing plate from rays common in phosphate and estuarine fossil lag. In this state, success usually comes from learning phosphate pits, shell hash beaches, and river gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
