mikephillips Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Hey I found this inside a Pennsylvania flagstone while doing masonry work the other day. What is it? Dinosaur toe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Welcome to the Forum. Moved to FOSSIL ID. More pictures would be helpful, preferably on a flat surface with multiple views of the different sides, and a ruler for scale. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

westcoast Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Looks like a siderite nodule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 In the right context one might take partial cast of a dinosaur track into consideration. I'm afraid that's not saying much here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifbrindacier Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I won't say it's siderite nor dismiss completly a partial cast of a dinosaur track but for me it looks like a concretion.

Fossildude19 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Looks like a flute cast, possibly.

cngodles Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 PA has a wide range of rock ages. If you could note a geologic rock age (Permian, Devonian, etc) from the map below (no need to identify your location), it could help narrow it down. There are a few places in the state where a dinosaur foot cast would be highly improbable. http://elibrary.dcnr.pa.gov/GetDocument?docId=1752510&DocName=Map7_Geo_Pa.pdf Fossils of Parks Township - Research | Catalog | How-to Make High-Contrast Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
