sixgill pete Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Nature has a way of fooling all of us. I'm sorry but what you have is a very suggestively shaped rock. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triceratops Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Agreed, suggestive rock. -Lyall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Agreed...it doesn't have any of the features that would characterize a 'real' fossil skull....but it sure does LOOK good! -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Welcome to the forum Melissa. We're at your service. Do you have any pictures of fossils that you have found in Iowa or other areas? My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Fossildude19 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Welcome to the Forum. Neat rock. I'd have picked it up for a closer look.

JohnBrewer Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 One cool looking rock but no fossils there I'm afraid. Welcome to the forum John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I have one location that has rocks that look exactly like bones and teeth at first glance...or is it bones and teeth that look like rocks? Every object has the same polish to it. Either way, it is always hard to distinguish them apart until you clear off some of the matrix, which really slows down one's sifting! I agree your item is a funky looking rock and may have been worthy of a second look. Keep hunting, you may find an actual one some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Unfortunately, I don't see a determinable skull, but an interestingly eroded rock. Where was it found ?

eeyipes Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I've got nothing, but it reminds me of Darth Vader's melted helmet, lol. I would keep it around just so people ask you what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
