Barasingha Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Miocene unknown items. I appreciate any help with ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coled18 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I cannot really tell a lot of these, but the second one from the top looks like a Fenestella to me. Neat finds though! -Cole CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The top one looks like turtle shell. The second one is bone as well I believe. Fenestella would be out of place in this time period I'm afraid. A look at the other side of all these may be helpful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barasingha Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 The bottom picture is the underside of both items. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't change my thinking though. Should be someone along soon who it does help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 What are the sizes of these specimens, and Miocene from where?

coled18 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Shoot! Did not see the Miocene Epoch part. My bad! I would go with what @Rockwood said in that case. Cole CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 The second item is too irregular to be a fenestella, i would rather say it shows the internal structure of a spongy bone or the spongy part of one. 1 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

Plax Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 turtle bone and half a vert (split lengthwise) of something as wild guesses. Would also guess east coast miocene but "US" is a big area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
