[svcgoat]

Very smooth from the clean areas

[svcgoat]

Will get better pictures when I get back home

@Troodon @jpc@Dino Dad 81

Any help would be appreciated

I like to play in similar dirt, but I’m useless for IDing 

[Troodon]

Don't forget to put size on your post.  Not sure if we are looking at something 1 inch to 10 inches.

Those look like bone fragments.  Not sure what that tooth looking object can be is it big or small?  Does not look like a tooth

[jpc]

Here is what I see....

 

the first is a small rounded chunkosaur.

The second looks more plant-y.  Can we see a view of the cross section?

3... I see a gar scale and something else

things like No 4 are generally only identifiable after you prep them out. 

[svcgoat]

I've cleaned up number 4 quite a bit.

@jpc the large round piece is plant like or the small pointy piece?

[svcgoat]

I put sizes for the first 2 I'll put sizes for the rest

[svcgoat]

Here is size and cross section of #2

Cross section of #1.

And Size of rock and more cleaned up #4

@Troodon @jpc

[Troodon]

#1 is nothing,

Not sure on 2

Can't figure out what that item is in your larger piece

[svcgoat]

2 reminds me of skull or ceramic like in that it's pretty uniform if I look closely it has little lines throughout however it is much smoother than dinobones I'm used to. Here's a closeup of the texture 

[Troodon]

There are some pretty smooth Edmonto bones that fan out, that thickness in the pelvic area like a pubis

[svcgoat]

@Troodon Thank you

[svcgoat]

I have another fanned out piece from a different location this one is Hell Creek while all the others were Lance. Could this also possibly be pubis related?

 

Both sides shown below @Troodon

[Troodon]

Pubis are flatish.  No idea on this chunk

[svcgoat]

Thank you as always

[jpc]

The cross section photo is out of focus, but it looks like sandstone inside suggesting that the pattern is bone impressioon.  

[svcgoat]

@jpc I'm worried to clean the sandstone out and damage the bone

[jpc]

use a dental pick r reasonable facsimile and take the grains out one at a time until you hit internal bone texture.  Or take a closer up photo In Focus of that edge... : )

 

[svcgoat]

Chipped away at #3 still unsure what it is 

 

The object in the matrix measures 22.1 mm

@Troodon @jpc

 

Any idea what it might be?

 

[svcgoat]

For all I know it's tumbled stone as the sediment came from wash material
