fossiling Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 2 hours ago, Troodon said: I was going through one of my matrix buckets from my just completed trip and came across this vertebra. None of my other items have been prepped so I decided to throw this specimen in since its rare to find them in such good shape being so small. I hesitate to clean the centrum any more in fear of destroying it. Lower Hell Creek Formation Powder River County, Montana Cretaceous: Maastrichtian Age Scapherpeton tectum (Cope 1876) Vertebra from a Cretaceous Salamander Height : 10 mm Length: 8 mm Width of Centrum: 4 mm Distal & Proximal Views: Dorsal View: Lateral Views what a beauty! Keep looking! They're everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeD Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I should probably throw my crinoid into this month's finds.
