pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Looks to me like pieces of bone, probably modern, and almost certainly too small to identify.

LabRatKing Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Looks like modern to me too, so that eliminates Chunkosaur , Chiplodocus and Fragmentadon. Id file it under Osteochippus extantis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desilva Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Can these be older than modern? I found these at a place that is known to have prehistoric bones. It was right after a nor' eastern storm hit and they eroded from the cliffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say how old they are, seeing as how fragmentary they are.
