Nebraska - South Platte River Gravel Piles - Ivory Fragments?
Lechuguilla posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, i'm new to the Forum. I have collected these fragments in the South Platte River Valley out of a gravel pile from a sandpit in West-Central Nebraska just South of the Sandhills. they were collected at different times of sand production, so probably not all from the same original animal. They are relatively dense/heavy with a slight patina on the convex surface. (one of the fragments is rounded from the river.) I was thinking it is enamel from a tooth. Although the largest fragment is 4.5" long, so maybe they could be ivory? Coworkers have also talked about finding "tortoise shells" in other piles, so maybe that is what they are... I thought I would post these and see if anyone has any thoughts? Thank you-

I am clueless as to what this is? It is 2 5/8 inches in length and 2 1/2 inches wide. On the side showing where rounded, you can see what appears to be scaley skin pattern. On the reverse not pictured, I can see what appears to be bone fissures. I am thinking maybe 1/2 back spike of dinosaur, petrified turtle head, shark tooth? I found it in Fayetteville, NC in new construction zone where they have a giant sand dirt pile from digging 2 retention ponds. I also found two arrow heads here. Maybe, human bone? Here is the reverse side of the piece I found above. I couldn't get both photos on same post due to MB limit.
