CEP Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I found this in the Judith River formation last weekend near the Milk River, I assumed it was just croc scute but it is thicker and different texture, maybe its turtle or a different kind of croc. @patrickhudson thinks its dinosaur skin but I doubted him.

pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Yup, turtle... A dinosaur skin impression would look like this (albeit from the Hell Creek): 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent_Zigzag Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Greetings! I believe this is a piece of a carapace of a nice grown-up turtle -- part of a piece of right costal plate of this individual. Still, I could not rule out that this is part of a crocodile osteoderm, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
