Been finding plenty of ammonites some of which are of an unusual type.
These are three different types of cephalopods, "Ammonites".
The red and white one top center is called Metiococeras whitti.(I think it is whitti)
The others that resemble grub worms are known as scaphites.
Eagleford formation, Dallas Co. Tex.
~85 million years of age.

You are not the first to think "Grub Worm".
One is even colored similar to a worm!!!!!
The one's that "Hook" back are called scaphites.
Thanks for your reply.

Dang,  It looks like you could just put that one on a hook and go fishing.   LOL   What is the base rock?   Shale?
