darthjlc Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Item# 1 - This seems to be a horse toe bone, but not sure. It’s very cylindrical in shape. Item #2 - This looks very odd. Like a ray dermal spike, but not like any I’ve ever seen. item #3 - No clue. It has a pattern on it and looked very curious. ↓↓↓↓ Photos are further down ↓↓↓↓ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthjlc Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 I thought this was the place for fossil Identification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 You're in the right place, but what was meant here was to upload the images directly to this thread, not links to files that at some point may become dead, thus rendering this topic moot in future. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a vertebrae. The most common vertebrae in the Peace River are dolphin, dugong, and horse. You have a very worn vertebrae, with all the vert processes missing. I usually all those verts that I can not identify to dolphin or horse. If dolphin, it is a tail vert, which tend to be longer. Item #2 - This looks very odd. Like a ray dermal spike, but not like any I’ve ever seen. agree..very unusual. I think it is a fish fossil, so unusual that I have never identified anything like it.

I been doing this for 10 years and still always find fossils that I can not identify. ↓↓↓↓ Photos are further down ↓↓↓↓ 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made some of my best finds late in May, including my largest GW, 3 years ago yesterday!! Take advantage of different low water hunting techniques, before the summer rains flush us out.
