Salvageon Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I can't imagine these are vertebrae but they were together on top of the ground big middle then small. The first two have center holes all the way through and the smallest only a little ways. I can provide more pics as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I don't see bone there; more likely concretions.

ZiggieCie Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I agree with concretion, and like the leaves showing in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvageon Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Thanks, they do feel like sandstone now that you mention it. As for the leaves I've found some ( maple?) a foot across. I Ding them has given me lots of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 It is quite possible that these concretions (which seem to be pretty linear) could have nucleated around roots.

Salvageon Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) That would explain the holes. Could they have been in a burrow? They almost fit big to little like a cone. But that could have been the plant also. Edited June 5, 2015 by Salvageon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvageon Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Auspex you nailed it on how they formed. These roots still in formation look very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
