sweatysalmon Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Found these in the Bearpaw formation along the banks of the Oldman river near Lethbridge, Alberta. I know it's a hail-mary, but can anyone venture a guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Looks like indications of bone that should have been traced to it's origin up the slope or left in place so others could do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 First one looks like a piece of shell (mollusk), but I don't now if there's enough to narrow down the ID from that. If someone could check the literature for the Bearpaw Fm they might be able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinosaur man Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Not sure what the first one is but the second was is definitely bone, looks like a piece of skull from some sort of marine reptile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracing upwards is a 20 foot cliff, so I geo tagged the location and took pictures of the spot where it was sitting as well as the surrounding area 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I agree... clamshell fragment and a piece of bone, either skull piece or vertebra chunk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
