KimberlyNolan12 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Wondering if this is a rock or some type of fossil claw. Found outside Terry, Montana in the badlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 more likely a piece of a nautiloid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimberlyNolan12 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Thanks JPC! The area is: Name: Lebo Member of Fort Union Formation Age: Danian (66 - 61.6Ma) So that would be likely, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 In a claw that linear structure in the first photo would be an indented channel to accommodate a blood vessel and not a raised ridge. 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...
