bitterlily Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thoughts? Found this heavy bone in the creek today. We have found whale bones there before. Also found what I believe is part of a vertebra along with some huge Chesapecten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 The vertebra looks modern. I see saw marks on the edge. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Shamalama Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 The larger, heavier piece looks like bone, but I am no expert on fossil bones. I like the Chesapectin shells though! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
