Lilo Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 A lady that gave me this swore it was dragon skin and that she had the skull to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMP Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'm sorry to say that even if they were real, dragon skin would not easily fossilize due to it being soft tissue, and likely an animal's meal. I'd love to see the mummified head though. Those always have great stories to go with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Dragons didn't ever exist, but dinosaurs did. However, you don't have dinosaur (or Dragon) skin there. This looks again, like a geologic oddity - known as a septarian nodule or concretion. See this informative post about "Dinosaur Skin" fossils. Unfortunately, people will say anything to sell stuff.

Agreed. Hopefully, the OP didn't pay, (or pay too much, at least,) for this.

abyssunder Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Here is a similar specimen from Missouri.

Rockwood Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Make a count of the shapes that resemble a crinoid columnal. Do the same for brachiopod steinkerns. Must be close to a significant number ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
