Kane Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Judging by the images here, my guess would be non-fossil rock with differential weathering. I do not see anything diagnostic to suggest skull morphology, or texture. 5 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Not a skull - no bone texture, or actual skull morphology. Weathered rock.

RJB Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I wonder how many tons of rock are taken home thinking its a fossil? I know I brought home just plain ole rock when I first started. RB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I brought home just plain ole rock when I first started. That is often part of the learning process. That's why going out collecting with someone who knows the fossils in the area can avoid the lugging home of many heavy non-fossils and provide a good search image to the actual fossils that might be found in an area.

WyoProspector Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Nah, I'll just call it my CrocRock. I live where the shoreline of Lake Gosiute shoud have been at one time. Lots of crazy looking things about. Eocene formation. Wasatch I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
