Bought this piece at a Rock and Mineral show and according to the specimen labels that were included with the specimen. It has passed through at least 3 different fossil dealers. Each one stating the following information: Crocodile Scapula Locality: San Juan, NM, (USA) Now I suspect this piece is from the Triassic time period and could possibly belong to a large Temnospondyl amphibian and is a skull fragment not a scapula. Does anyone here recognize the patterning and thickness change enough to give an educated guess as to what it might actually be from? Also, the glue attached to the specimen is fairly thick and hard. Any suggestions regarding how to remove it without causing harm to the fossil? As you can see my attempts at trying to pick off the glue, takes the surface of the fossil with it leaving an annoying white spot. I may have quickly tried acetone if I remember correctly but nothing happened.
