SATXPaleo Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Uncovered in North San Antonio Texas in an area I believe to have been under water that had an abundance of marine life. This is an assumed "head" I unearthed. This is a picture of the left and right side. I previously posted some assumed "flippers". I want to know what you guys think. Thanks for your time.

Thomas.Dodson Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I agree that this looks like chert. That sharp edged cavity could possibly be an invertebrate fossil (can't tell in these pics) but it isn't what you think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 The new pictures have not changed the diagnosis. It is a piece of chert. 1 It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val horn Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Being wrong is neither sin nor crime. It reflects lack of a specific kind of knowledge, if my car makes an odd noise I take it to a mechanic. This forum is a starting place google is a starting place. If you google turtle fossil you don’t see pieces that look like yours. I learn best directly from people so I love to go with a group to new sites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
