Cris Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Thanks for numbering the items, Ken. That definitely makes it easier. 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14 and 16, I believe, are geological in origin. Just interesting shaped rocks. #17 may also just be a rock, although the darker colored parts of it are interesting and almost look like there's some sort of structure. Many of the fossils have already been identified, but I'll quickly go through them all anyways: #4 is, indeed, a horse tooth. #6 is a giant tortoise osteoderm. #8 is a piece of a mammoth tooth. #11 is a whitetail deer tooth. #12 is another small piece of a mammoth tooth. #15 is part of the end of a mammal bone, perhaps a humerus.

Nashphil Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 #1 trash (oyster shell fragment) # 3 Barnacle #2 and 5 are cool (can't id) #7 looks like coprolite #9 Coral? Some rocks Just asking, What separates a camel tooth from a horse? I have camel jaw bones, they were native to the America's long before horses were "brought" here.

fifbrindacier Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I don't see a barnacle in #3. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

familyguy16 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Thank you to all who responded!! Been busy with "real life" tasks and haven't gotten around to taking any more photos. I did forget to upload this one previously though. I believe these are both mammoth fragments but the one I'm more unsure of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
