AJ Plai Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Specimen A: Specimen B: These are from one of those specimens from Fossil Starter Kit that started my collecting hobby as a kid, and I think its time I would like to pass these among several other specimens in the starter kit plus a few additional ones on to new beginning collector in my local community. In order to do that, I am putting together my own fossil starter set so I am going to need to ID each individual specimens in my set but unfortunately I have lost the ID cards for all of my specimens many years ago. The other specimens in the starter set I can somewhat ID them generally but these 2 particular specimens are, if I remember correctly - one may be a dino bone and another one might be a fossilized wood. But I could be mistaken and both could be dino bones. I am not 100% sure. My take is that Specimen A is a dino bone and Specimen B is a fossilized wood but would like to have 3rd party with more expertise than me help to double check if I am right or not, hehe. Thx guys!

Auspex Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 It seems to me that you most likely have them right.

Opisthotriton Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 No, B is the bone because you can see its porous center (a more dense version of a medullary cavity). A is hard to tell. Could be dino bone, could be wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
