aplomado Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 My daughter found this protruding from the Mooreville Chalk formation (upper Cretaceous) in central Alabama. Unfortunately, it did break when we dug it out but it is otherwise in very good shape. It looks like it may be shaped like a reptile paddle bone. Turtle? Mosasaur? Something else? Anyone have any thoughts about id? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoNoel Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I would agree with you, looks to be a paddle bone, I would guess mosasaur. Here's picture of a paddle from Fossilguy.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
