Possible Cretaceous Osteoderms Found In Central Alberta Badlands. Please Help ID
Backcountryhiker posted a topic in Fossil ID
While hiking in the Central Alberta Badlands Near Toleman in Red Deer River Valley came across two pieces of fossilized matter that looked very different than most of the bone fragments I have encountered while on similar outings. If I was to take a wild & uneducated guess I would say they look like they could be osteoderms? Any help to ID these strange pieces would be greatly appreciated. Thank you In advance. -
Finally I can share an incredible piece with you all!!!!!!!! I have been very fortunate to be able to do invertebrate fossil preparation for The Royal Ontario Museum (The ROM). I have recently been given permission to share pictures of some of the work that I have done for them. Thank you Dr. J.B. Caron.

In case you are not already aware they will be opening a major new fossil gall

Any help to help ID or any additional information of any kind would b -

Hello everyone, while I was getting some exercise exploring the badlands here in central Alberta (Red Deer river valley Scollard formation I believe) I found a piece of fossilized bone that must have been recently exposed due to spring thaw. I am no guru however it appears to have some predation marks on it (third picture left side) & to me looks like it could be a leg bone? I'm looking for some help confirm these are in fact predation marks & also to ID the bone itself if possible. I know its difficult due to it being just a small fragment but any help or additional info would be gr -
On our recent vacation I swam in Lake Ontario at a park in St.Catharines, Ontario. I brought back a whole bunch of rocks I found in the lake, and some fossils. A lot of them look the same, like a spinal column kinda. Any idea what they are? (I have them in water because it's easier to see them that way
