dinosaur man Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) I recently acquired a bunch of matrix from the Cloverly Formation of Carbon County, Montana. And came across a few scutes. I’m not fully sure if they are turtle, crocodile, or maybe both, which is why I thought I’d share them here.

Fossildude19 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Looks turtle-ish, to me. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Can we see a view of the broken edges and the back side? Edited May 12, 2022 by jpc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you were talking about the right or left piece so I took photos of the side and back of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 the light brown one seems to have crocodile texture on both sides suggesting it is indeed apiece of skull... edge of squamosal bone perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
