Petrified reptile head

Based on the one picture, I'd say it's a rock. Past that, I don't think anyone could tell you much about it.

First off. Welcome to the forum! As to this item It’s a blurry picture of a ordinary rock sorry… theres no sign of bilateral simetry, no sign of bones or other fossil material.

agree with the reactions so far.

a rather nondescript piece of earth material("rock")

In future posts,you might want to include more data and pictorial material,if you want to obtain something that remotely resembles an "ID"

As others have stated, it is indeed a rock. There is nothing in these images that indicates a fossil.

Yes. This is a rock.

No bilateral symmetry. No bone texture.

Probably some sort of metamorphic rock, like chert or quartzite.

so this is a rock you say

I see the shapes that may suggest this being a skull. The texture of the bones that make up a skull is not seen here though. Without that there is almost no chance of it being proven to be a fossil skull if it was an isolated find.

Unfortunately, we are not seeing eye-to -eye here.


I think @solo2150 needs to take his item to the local paleontological museum, and have a paleontologist look at it, as he seems convinced his find is a "petrified reptile head".

We wish the OP the best of luck with his find.
