kpom Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I have this fossil skull that I can not identify. The interesting thing about it is that it is slightly radioactive at about 3 times the background or approx. 160cpm. I would be appreciative of any info you can provide. Sorry about the resolution, but with a 2meg limit I had to lower it substantially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 It may help if you give dimensions or place a ruler or some object of known size next to it for scale. Do you know where it came from? Possible Oreodont species? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snolly50 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) It has the appearance of Oreodont. The teeth may also be fluorescent, as well as "hot" - discussed in this prep topic.

kpom Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 the blue mat that the fossil in on contains a .5 inch grid. I think I got this in Utah, sometime in the 80's. My kids used to play with it and I had to clean off the crayon marks they used to "color" it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
