Kane Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Regrettably, this does not seem to be a skull of any sort. It lacks bone texture, symmetry, and the area in which this was found is not a geologic fit for dinosaurs. In future, you may wish to use a ruler or tape measure to indicate scale. 8 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's instant Permineralization by meteor. Skeleton structure is there you just need to look. And i think this thing was either amphibious or trickled down from the thaw of the glacier and landed in my yard. Along with a large variety of other specimens. Examine skull two, I believe it to be same species as skull #1. Also has splatters of gold hew blotches. Also crystals seem to be traced with hint of gold as well.

Paleorunner Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 There are rocks that usually have curious shapes, and they tend to awaken our imagination, believing we see things that are not, but are still rocks. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I am looking, and there is nothing at all diagnostic of fossil skull/bone material of any sort in these pieces. This may be an instance of pareidolia. The addition of meteor strike seems highly unlikely as well (the impact would destroy a fossil). Occam's Razor suggests that the simpler explanation is likely the correct one. The presence of gold might be suggestive of pyrite. Some of our osteo- and dino experts will be along to provide their input shortly, no doubt. 1 6 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Im sorry but there is absolutly no evidence of fossils of any kind in these rocks. no bones, no shells, no anything….. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodysheeran55 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 How do you explain the mapping of the brain cortex on the reverse side of skull #1? Or the identical bone structure between #1 and #2? Even the outlining of the eyes display correct layout. I've had multiple geologists direct me to paleontologists due to lack of an answer as to even what it is.. also forgot to mention IT'S MAGNETIC! All three. Skull 1 and two are just half a skull. #2 is entire skull with flesh and skin still frozen in time it seems. If this were to be what it seems then yes this would be a first for this area to be discovered. I've got an extensive collection I've built up of what I believe to be species petrafied the same way in the same general area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodysheeran55 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Also there are no bone in these specimen, all crystalized matrix. And also thought pyrite to be culprit but I don't think pyrite can splatter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 A meteor would incinerate and obliterate anything it struck due to incredible heat and force velocity, and that definitely includes anything organic. What you are suggesting would go against physics itself, I’m afraid. Did these geologists offer to test the pieces in terms of composition? 3 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also crystals seem to be traced with hint of gold as well. We are looking and we see no bone. Gold = pyrite? Permineralisation by meteorite? Umm.... a chunk of nickel/iron (or silicates/nickel/iron or olivine crystals/nickel/iron etc) travelling at around 70,000kph big enough not to be slowed down much by the atmosphere doesn't instantly fossilise something in its way, it vapourises it. If the meteor was small enough and the atmosphere slowed it down, after the fireball and the meteor broke in to many pieces they usually just fall harmlessly to the earths surface (at terminal velocity). 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Just claiming that something is what you think it is is unfortunately not a recognized scientific method. I'm just wondering how experienced your multiple geologists are who you claim were not able to give you an answer as to what it is. 3 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Fossildude19 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 What exactly would be the mechanics behind "instant permineralization by meteor"? I have never heard of this from science. What exactly are you basing your theory on? As others have stated, meteor strikes result in obliteration, and incineration of ground zero for quite a distance around the impact zone. Pareidolia is the more likely scenario here. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Top Trilo Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Just hear us out real quick, Here is our evidence supplied from members with decades of experience and ideas that have been worked out over centuries. 4 hours ago, Kane said: It lacks bone texture, symmetry, and the area in which this was found is not a geologic fit for dinosaurs. 2 hours ago, RJB said: Pareidolia 2 hours ago, Fossildude19 said: meteor strikes result in obliteration, and incineration of ground zero for quite a distance around the impact zone. Also you are right that pyrite doesn't "splatter" but neither does gold. Pyrite is much more likely. You said it was magnetic which is not a good sign for fossils, there have not been found any magnetic dinosaur skulls. I suggest you research the colored evidence above as you should quickly realize that your theory does not fit. If you are really interested in fossils, I would suggest researching what fossils have been found in your area, its a very fun hobby, good luck on your future finds. 3 “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor.
