SATXPaleo Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Unearthed in North San Antonio Texas. These are a few pictures of the larger turtle "head". I'll post a picture of where I found it and the surrounding area and "rocks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Unfortunately, this is another rock. There is no morphology suggesting turtle or reptile, no bone texture, nor symmetry. 1 3 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 You have Pareidolia with these rocks; you are simply seeing suggestive shapes caused by erosion. 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...

oilshale Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Have you ever looked at a fossil turtle skull? Museums are good places to learn - that's what they are for. Sorry, just a rock. Edited February 16, 2021 by oilshale Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

SATXPaleo Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 I want to thank each of you for your time and attention to my questions. That's how we learn by asking questions. I'll be requesting your assistance again. I have other interesting "rocks" that I'd like the forum to look over. Until then, God bless each of you.
