Bag of bones Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Found in the Pryor Mountains. An inland sea once covered the area. Lots of possibilities. Cool looking anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Welcome to TFF! That is an interesting rock. Can You take pictures from the sides and back? And what is the size?

Fossildude19 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I'm getting a geologic vibe on this one.

FossilDAWG Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I'm thinking chert nodules more than bones. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Boy I agree with Fossildude get a geologic feel. Definitely need to see more especially from the side and closeups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgehiker Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Need a better photo. However, there are Dino bone elements found in the Morrison Formation in that general area. I never found anything vertebrate but in the marine deposits there were a lot of belemnites and crinoid bits. There's been a few huge floods in pleistocene times that acted similar to glaciers and shifted a lot of rock around. You can find what might seem like 'out of place' fossils and rocks. Anyways, nice area. Lots of native history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I am also getting a geologic impression, but the lower left area looks kind of turtle like to Me. That was the reason I asked for more pictures. Would still like to see more pictures. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Ash Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Can we get some close ups of the edges of the possible bone? Like where any internal structure can be viewed? That would quickly solve the fossil or geological question.
