Hookem93 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 My 12 year found these and I am not sure if they are Mosasaur verts, etc. I am thinking it MIGHT be a Mosasaur humerus. It is definitely fossilized, although it looks like unfossilized bone. The smaller one... I will defer to the Forum's expertise. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruitbat Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The first three pictures are of an artiodactyl (even-toed ungulates) astragalus (ankle bone), probably a bison or cow based on size. I haven't got a clue on the fourth picture. Where (in general) were these collected? -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookem93 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks so much for the ID. We have been to the North Sulphur River a few times and my son has fossil fever and was convinced he found his first Mos vert. Back to proverbial drawing board... thanks.
