Found a similar sized fossilized snail at my old lease near Bulverde. Cool find.

I was thinking the same but with it being so badly eroded I wasn't sure.

Bluesman nailed it. They can range from very small to well over 18" across. We used to find them up around lake Texoma. Average size there was about 12" across. I put 3 of them in my stone work when we built our house.

def a fossil snail or nautilus. Nice find. It's cool to think the hill country was an ocean floor at one point. Geology rocks!

Here's an ammonite fossil we just found a couple weeks ago. We're in south central Oklahoma, just north of Texoma. Pretty cool stuff!

Actually after review it does have a strong resemblance to a nautilus..
