BonuFrailman Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Good afternoon everyone, I’ve previously seen some skin impressions on the auction site but not one for a low price like this one. However, I have trouble seeing where the scale impressions are on the fossil and was wondering if you guys could make them out, if this even is a skin impression. Fossil is 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm From the Hell Creek Formation near Baker, Montana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Is it fossilised dinosaur skin 'mumified' or impression left in mud? I can’t tell but our friend maybe able to help @Troodon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I am doubtful. Can we see a cross section of this piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 If its mummified its not an impression but skin. There are some mild dimples with may suggested impression but then its not a very good example of one. Agree with jpc need to see the cross-section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Doesn't really look like the skin examples I've seen. So yeah, I agree, doubtful. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Not skin and most likely not an impression 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
