Planko Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hey Everyone, Needed to take some PTO due to everything at work. Those 14-16 hour days get to you after awhile. As is my normal I spent quite a bit of my mornings at NSR. Had quite a bit of luck. I found three things this morning I need help with. I was near the Bushy Creek meeting with the NSR. Some material had fallen from above. It was a mixture of the red matrix and a mustard color matrix. Actually quite a bit had fallen. Spent about an hour looking through it and found the ammonites and one bone. Smaller ammonite is reddish and fairly stable. Larger is the mustard color and very unstable. Only prep on either was with water and a soft bristle toothbrush. I am thinking Pachydiscus (P.) Paulsoni for them but something is off for me. Also, in one of the pics of the larger is that the shell fossilized? One bone reminds me a vert but the three things on the one side I have not seen. Other looks like part of a sheel fragment but have no idea what from? As always, any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planko Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 Ok, I got the two ammonites classification. I know the second bone is tough due to the size and shape. Really curious as to the first bone with the three semi-flat areas. I cannot find anything online. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbi Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Those chucks appear to be bones to me. I don't know what bones and what animal it came from. Chucks of bone are usually unidentifiable. I know almost nothing about ammonites. I hope others will chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
