austinswamp Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Do I have anything here? I found these two after a good rain at the bend of a creek here in Austin, Texas. They are both around a 1/2 to 1" in length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDudeCO Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I don't know about the top one, but the bottom one....possibly. I like the shape of it, and have seen something similar, but can't place it at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 First one looks geologic, second one looks like a bone fragment. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Mud Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Definitely bone, from the new pics. Not sure what, but the bone looks "fishy" to me most likely fish bone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Agree that the bottom one is most likely a bone fragment. Are crocodile fossils known from there? Given its size, fish is very likely, but the pitting on it in the first picture reminds me of crocs. 1 Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieira Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I don't see teeth there. I agree with a fish bone for the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinswamp Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Coronoid fragment of a small turtle seems to fit the description thus far. Toxochelys perhaps the smaller Texas sea turtles of upper cretaceous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
