Here we go again! found in the same conglomerate facies of the Vaqueros is this weird tooth(?). To be honest I’m not even sure its tooth, could be a small piece of bone. BUT it does have an distinct piece of enamel(?) near one of the tips. Unfortunately rarely any teeth here have been found whole. But I will keep looking! hoping you people with more experience can help solve another mystery!

Alright y’all I have another weird one for ya. Also found in the Upper Vaqueros is this awfully odd piece. (Can you tell I love Vaqueros? Haha!) First I thought it was bone, then some kind of bryozoan, then fossilized wood, but now I believe I have nailed it down to some kind of Softshell turtle. check out these photos from Cessaniti, Italy (late Miocene) of a few pieces of carapace fragment. They look awfully similar. softshell turtles are previously unreported from the vaqueros I believe
