VickyRenee Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I found this yesterday in northwestern part of Missouri near the Grand River. It looks like possibly the bottom part of a reptiles head? I think this is limestone but I'm not positive. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Definitely not reptile fossil but not sure what it is, almost looks like broken off piece of statue? What are measurements? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VickyRenee Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 I found it in an area that had tons of quartz, crystals, agates and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I was definitely wondering what that was! It didn't feel like wire, but you're right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
