Texas Turritella Agate Identification

Turritella Agate is a realistic Texas fossil profile built around chalcedony packed with gastropod shell impressions from lake deposits. In this state, success usually comes from learning red beds, chalk cuts, and dry creek gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
