How about salt crystals in the evaporator fabric?

We travelled Texas for a few years and one of my favorite watering holes was Phil Lorfing's Lowake Inn. Last fall, we were in Austin and decided to drive off the interstates and come back to Colorado by way of Lowake. Wish I hadn't. You know how they say you can't go back? Lowake Inn, as we remembered it is no longer. Cotton gin and grass landing strip grown up in weeds. Sad.....many fond memories of the best steaks and coldest beer are just that...memories.
This specimen is too hard to crumble by hand. When I first examined it, My thoughts leaned toward fosillized shellfish, due to the clerly defined shape and the parting line around the perimeter. I noticed another post here on this subject identified as fossilized clam. I have been tempted to crack it along the parting line, but don't want to destroy something interesting if I can learn the correct identity.
Very nice. Now I pose a question for all the rockhounds. What is this piece? My grandkids found this on one of our four-wheeling adventures in Wyoming.

Thank you all for your input. Everyone made good points. I will consider all before making the decision. Good day to all.
At this stage, budget is not the top of the priority list. I just want to have the capability of poster size prints, if needed in the future. In the process of downsizing, we need to reduce the physical size of stored items and will likely dispose of the slides, once scanned.
My bet would be they sampled a little bit of Wild Turkey
Recently retired, I have about 50 year's accumulation of family slides. I now have the time to scan them to a computer and need your input regarding which scanner to buy. I want to end up with top quality pictures for converting to prints.
The future will arrive as soon as your past stops catching up with you.
Interesting. I did not notice. Good eye!
They are, indeed, Chukars and they certainly are not indigenous to this locale. We're hoping they stay the winter and breed again.
