i.amsherlocked Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Found these in Edmonton in a creek below a coal seam. Unsure if this was actually the KT line. I know Edmontosaur specimens have been found nearby. Any information would be helpful, thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Tough one... it could be modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicnfossils Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 +1 for modern. I don’t think it’s Dinosaurian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemphix Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 A very simple test: if it's heavy = fossil. If it's light = modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.amsherlocked Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Oh its definitely a fossil, I've been collecting fossils for years, i know the difference. That being said, of course it could be a fossil from something more recent than dinosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinosaur man Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Looks to be older then modern, so it could be Cretaceous, it looks like a piece of Edmontosaurus chevron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I'm thinking it could be a partial limb bone from some pleistocene or more recent mammal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 It does kinda look like something more recent. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Found this from U of Waterloo not sure its current. "The stratigraphically highest dinosaur bones are now accepted as being about 33 meters below the base of the Paskapoo Formation (4 meters below the lowest (Nevis) coal in the "upper Edmonton"" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.amsherlocked Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Not sure if this helps at all, but i found these other two fragments within 0.5km (separate locations). The fossil on the right is confirmed to be edmontosaur rib bone fragment. The fossil on the left has yet to be identified. I'm sharing these because I am suspicious of the dramatic color difference between these and the one i found most recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
