MatieCooper Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Hello! A little context: this is my very first post, and the item in question resulted from my second ever fossil hunt. I have very little knowledge but a metric ton of curiosity. My husband and I found this item today from material we sifted from the bottom of a creek bed through a 1/4” screen. We were at a place called Green Mills Run (GMR) in Greenville, NC, which I have gathered through even my minimal experience is a prime location for finding all kinds of spectacular specimens. This thing has me scratching my head... thanks in advance for your help and expertise!! (I am totally psyched to be falling into the paleontological rabbit hole) disclaimer: I’m out of practice taking pictures of small finds. If any of the photos are insufficient or if another angle is needed, I’m happy to provide whatever is needed. Cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I was thinking tilly bone at first sight. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
