Just finished reading the rest of the forum, and my sides hurt

Problem is if it is limestone then it may be biological and 400 million years old

I agree with auspex about not getting this guy onto this forum, with his energy and drive can you imagine what would happen once he starts finding real fossils? There won't be any left for the rest of us!

Ya basicly all lime stone is biological. It is basicaly calcite (crushed sea shells).

To clarify:
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate: CaCO3). Like most other sedimentary rocks, limestones are composed of grains; however, most grains in limestone are skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral or foraminifera. Other carbonate grains comprising limestones are ooids, peloids, intraclasts, and extraclasts. Some limestones do not consist of grains at all and are formed completely by the chemical precipitation of calcite or aragonite. i.e. travertine.

Thats why I said "may be"

[frozen_turkey]

Ok this is weird he just sent me a certificat and reward for contributing to the puff dragon prodject.

Is that weired or what?

And i havent contributed anything ive just contributed reasons why it couldnt be a fossil.

o and how could it have survived if it had exsisted? How could it of survived by munching on cirnoids, trilos, and the occational primative fish????

I kind of hate the fact that this thread is the longest on here, yet I have to add my two cents.

In October of 2008 there was a get-together of a group of forum members in Texas near Waco. If I remember correctly one of our members was wearing a Z-Dragon T-shirt.

(I wish someone would post a picture of that cool shirt!!)

I couldn't find it in my pictures of that trip. They must have been hiding from the camera.

[bowkill]

I can't remember who it was. They might not have been wearing it, but got it out to show a few of us.

[Ordovician_Odyssey]

he actually calls those fossils of a large marine reptile!?!?!!!!!
its just a big rock! and he dated it way to old because the era he claimed it was from only had small marine creatures.
he should really put away his fairytale books away and get back to life, where there never have and never will be sea dragons!
no offence....lol

Well this guy might also be a nuter, but at least it looks vagly like a fossil

Like these to things. what are they???????? (cant read italian) That look like some kind of petrafied wood or mineral formation.

the image description says "dinosaur tails"
i mean, who in the world would mistake them for tails? they don't even resemble vertebras, i don't know what they are but they look like broken stalactites or something .

But they do look like petrafied wood. And even if they are just some minerals they are kinda cool.
