We were told we could find croc teeth in this Mowry shale along the eastern rim of the bighorn basin and found this fossilized vertebral bone.

I am fortunate to have moved to the Bighorn Basin in Northern Wyoming with all of the awesome geologic structures and fossils. I work in healthcare but love learning about all things science. Wyoming is awesome...where else can your son's 8th grade class take a field trip to dig up trilobites (and bring them home) and walk in dinosaur footprints. Anyways, saw this structure in sediment rock in the northern bighorn basin. The rock layer is just below the red chugwater dirt layer (I think). There are multiple coin sized fossilized shells and softball sized coral pieces. This structure in the picture appears to extend in to the rock layer which is fractured along the right edge of the structure. Just wondering what this might be. Thanks, Dean
