Description
This is a nice fossil Scute, from a Glyptodon. It was found along the shore of Texas City Dike. Has TC on back with marker in black. Damaged going thru dredge pipe and rolling on the shore. Back in the 70s and 80s there were very large dredge mounds alone the Texas City Dike. This was a pleistocene layer that was dredged from the ship channel to deepen it. The mammal fossil teeth and bones would wash out along the shore of the dike. My brother, recently visited the dike to find that all the mounds had weathered away to nothing and the dike has been rocked over or sand was brought in to make beaches. So these fossils are a rare thing now as the site will no longer be producing fossils.This is from my fathers collection and was collected back in the 70s. From the collection of George Wolf of Pasadena Texas
