Possible Fossilized Vertebra??? Found Yesterday at Otter Crest Beach "Devil's Punchbowl" Oregon
Wiccan_Reign posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this yesterday beachcombing At Otter crest, just after high tide " King Tides" This Beach is between depoe Bay and Newport Oregon.. I also found 8 agatised gastropods and 2 agatised mollusk's.. but my question is what this belonged to?.. I'm sorry I only had a centimeter or inch to measure with... So I chose the centimeter.. the closest thing I can find online seems to be a Vertebra.. it is completely mineralized and in the light glitters like Crystal. I rock hound quite a bit, but this is out of my privy... Lol can anybody give me more information?

I’ve had this fossil in my collection but never took a deep look at it until now. It seems like it could be a bone or a tooth of some sort. There are calcite crystals that formed on one end while the whole piece has a unique pattern.

I dug this out of a corrugated culvert on South Willow Pond ditch under Bourbon Street in Warwick County.

Hi all. Me and hubby have been out on some exploring trips and we've come across several bones that are very dark. I want to say mineralized. They are not fossilized. Also I'm sure bovine in most cases, and maybe bison? Also, recently came across a deer skull cap and partial antlers. The area we have found some of these pieces are in a creek in Grayson county Texas (Choctaw creek) that consist of heavy red clay, grey marl and sand. I don't know even where to start on dating non fossilized bones, other than the good ole' it's darker so older method. I can understand that simply it being exposed to heavy red clay that it may darken the bone considerably, but still the dating method eludes me. Help? Here are some examples I have.
