wd7 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) Hi all, observed a few fossils in Horsethief Canyon on a hike the other day, not sure what they are. One looks like a long bone, and the other maybe a squished skull with some other bones mashed in? Using my technically advanced shoe as a reference, long bone was maybe 25cm long, 10cm at widest, "skull" was maybe 25cm across at widest point. I know its hard to tell, but I'm new so not sure what layer I was in, but my watch said ~730m elevation if that means anything to anyone for the locality. A couple photos of two fossilized stumps and a shot of the Canyon for a bonus. Was a super fun day hiking around, thanks for your input! ****edit**** first pic displayed is the underside of the long bone, last is the top of it.....

Lone Hunter Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I'm horrible with bones but don't think I'm seeing any, last pic sure looks like pet wood to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.Dodson Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I see pieces of petrified wood (#2, #3, #5) but I don't see any bone here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wd7 Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 ha, now that you say it 5 does look like wood.... #4 was more distinctly bone i think, but maybe too damaged to identify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
