Ramanessin Bone Id

[Rexofspades]

Hi all, me again, I wanted to share a closeup of the bone fragments that I found in Ramanessin to see if I could get them ID'd further since I know how the brook tends to make fake fossil bones i want to check that the ones I found are real fossil bone

 

1)

 

the big one, i think it might be a cretaceous turtle shell, it passed the burn, and the lick test. 

 

1A)

 

 

 

I believe these are also enchodus jaw fragments.

 

2)

 

2A)

Agreed. The next one down looks like slag to me though. 

Hope you let it cool before you licked it.

by next one down, do you mean the enchodus jaw fragments?

No. The smaller two of the three with a single shark tooth in the photo. 

I think.

Okay, any thoughts on the jaw pieces? I think one of them has the base of a tooth

I tend to agree on both. You should wait for more opinions though.

I may have the turtle bits confused.

@RockwoodI have numbered them for convenience.  Are the ones in number 2 enchodus

Ah. That's better, 

I think 1 + 1A are turtle. Forget the slag. 

2 Both Enchodus 

2A left looks like a ray dermal denticle

2A are Enchodus jaw fragments. In my opinion the other pieces are too fragmentary to be identifiable

Thank you! I am so excited to have found a reptile bone that was alive during the dinosaur age. If my 5yr old self could see me now.

Your first item definitely looks like a turtle shell fragment to me.  

 

I can't speak for the fish fragments.  Not my area of knowledge.
