Hadrosaur teeth or Fossil Foolery?

Recommended Posts

An acquaintance asked me to post these pictures of what he believes is a hadrosaur jaw/head. Hadrosaur digits have been found in Minnesota. I do have to say that it is a very suggestive rock, enough so where I agreed to post it.  :-)

It was found in Mower county, SE Minnesota, among glacial drift near Austin, MN.

I have to admit that it does look like teeth.  :-)

Thank you for your consideration.  :-)

Sorry on the bad photo on side two, let's see if this is better. He took the piece home with him so these are all I have to work with.3b.thumb.JPG.28878a95b5fdcde67889e5b6cdf4189e.JPG

 

Still not great, but the best I have.

You are correct a rock.  Boy anything from that part of the country would be cool.

Lots of foreign currency used as scale. :(

Love it!  :-D  Year's ago when I first came on TFF, using currency for scale was acceptable. Given that I didn't believe this rock was truly a fossil, I didn't bother with a tape measure. And of course, I think American is one of the last countries still not metric... Thanks for the comments. It makes a person think globally.  :-)
