Fishinfossil Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Found this bone in NJ Cretaceous stream. Very dense. Any suggestions of its origin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Chunkosuarus is my best guess. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Aside from the context, is there any reason why they would say reptile, as opposed to, for example, a fragment of some ice age mammal? "Chunkosaurus" is just paleo humor for "indeterminate bone fragment" of course. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I agree with indeterminate bone chunk. Based on context and, to some degree preservation, I'd feel pretty confident saying reptile. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
