Texas Whale Ear Bone Identification

Whale Ear Bone is a realistic Texas fossil profile built around dense auditory bulla or periotic from marine mammal deposits on coasts. 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.
