_Fossil Shells - Flower Mound, TX
_What you'll find - Shell fossils and strangely shaped dark rocks we haven't identified
Fees - free
Address - High Road, Flower Mound, TX
Tips - Drive to the very end of High Road and there is a trail that goes down and along the edge of the lake. We found this site by accident while looking for Bluebonnet flowers. The rocks near the beach seem to be loaded with shell fossils and we have yet to figure out what the dark strange shaped rocks are.
