jerseygurl Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Hello. The following items remain in my "take it back to the lab to analyze" section of my findings. I have not been able to id any by looking thru books and online references. It just may be that they are nothing but unique patterned rocks. However, I do know I have at least one claw although I can't tell what it came from. Any help is always very appreciated. Did my best with the pics.. And thanks in advance.

Plax Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 first one looks like an ungual bone. If cretaceous it is a significant fossil. the rest look like concretions to me. Google "ungual bone" and see what comes up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygurl Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Thank you! I found (#1 top left the first picture) just this weekend. Caught my eye as different from the normal stuff in the stream bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike from North Queensland Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Remember stream finds can be from cretaceous to recent . so also sometimes frustrating to ID Mike 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Deer hoof core on the far left. The others look like concretions to me. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

The Jersey Devil Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Is the bone on the far left in question mineralized? “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygurl Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 I do not know any other way to check for mineralization other than the burn test. There is no odor that I can detect when I hold a match to it. if I can use any other tests... i am open to suggestions. This is the first time I have found anything like this little guy. Be great if it was a fossil. My finds pretty much consist of corals, teeth, and whatever interesting shapes catch my eye. I recently found a bone tube bead. Sometimes those shapes end up being more than just shapes. Oh and I have picked up some pretty gross bones that smell awful when I used the test. There is nothing like it. Yuck!
