I've seen insect body fossils from the Hell Creek but I don't think I've seen a cocoon. I'm wondering if that could be an egg case. That’s interesting but I didn’t add a size scale to it (18mm) sorry . I think it is to large, more like the pupate stage of a maggot but I don’t know. I think they commonly found around Dinosaur remains like the ribs . I never seen Insect from Hell Creek that’s interesting. Maybe @Troodon will have seen them before. thanks for your kind words much appreciated. Next no my list is some mammal teeth or bird bone . I spotted some in the uk but they are very expensive, maybe for my birthday stay safe Cheers Bobby Edited January 27, 2022 by Bobby Rico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stegosaurus is a little out of place but what a creature.I do hope to get a triceratops model too, I am pleased I got a very little bit Hell Creek stuff, as a kid I loved T.rex and Triceratops. cheers Bobby Edited January 28, 2022 by Bobby Rico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will contact the seller but they can be a little sensitive in these matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These specimens were found inside the rib cage of a Triceratops suggesting they were laid on the carcass. Also, the distinct rings on the specimens are much more like a coccoon than a seed pod, which are usually smooth. It is an interesting suggestion though and I'll have to research it further” I will do some more pictures of my item . I don’t know myself I don’t think cocoons are laid but part of the pupa, that’s nitpicking. Thanks again for your help. Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
