wildchild33 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 More from a creek in north Texas, Cretateous or Pliocene. First pic appears to be a tooth I think, next ones shows what looks like very worn vertebra and yes it's got a purple hue for some reason, was partially exposed in gravel bank. The other object I thought was a turtle carapace when I saw it sticking up out of gravel, but after digging up not so sure esp since it doesn't feel like turtle bone. Sorry for the poor quality phone pics. Having problems with phone or website and somehow that first pic is out of order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Can't help with id's other than to say that the gray one looks like cement that hardened in it's bag.

wildchild33 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 My bad, the tooth is vert, saw a pic similar to this one under mammoth tooth and didn't read the rest. Obviously not mammoth but broken vert of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildchild33 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 The purple thing I was actually compared to whale verts and these are examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Not likely a whale vertebra from this area. We have mostly Cretaceous marine strata (no whales) or terrestrial Pleistocene strata (no whales). Unfortunately, I can't see enough detail to make any kind of diagnosis. -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
