Steak_Knife86 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Found this in my back yard under a pile of rocks. I see scales, a skull with 2 horns, a mouth, the fossilized brain stem, and even a hole where the spinal chord would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Looks like a breccia (caliche cemented?) of metamorphic rocks. Not a fossil. Where was it from? 2 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

Sjfriend Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 What @DPS Ammonite said. It is Arizona cemented rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 No skull morphology, no bone texture, and lacking bilateral symmetry. It is a rock, as stated. Sorry, not a skull. When you are seeing resemblances to creatures, you are experiencing pareidolia. You should familiarize yourself with what fossils actually look like, by going to museums, and checking the internet. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Ludwigia Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 It's a rock. Do yourself a favor, look up pareidolia and then immerse yourself in the study of geology and paleontology.
