Story69 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hello, everyone. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I found this fossilized bone in a creek outside of Austin. On a separate occasion I found a very nice Mosasaur vert in the same area (literally a few feet away from where this was found). It looks to be a vertebra, but two people (Paleontologists) have looked at it, but feel that it's NOT from a Mosasaur. Possibly from a turtle? Can anyone offer any thoughts?

fossilized6s Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Huh. Looks like a mosasaur tail vert to me......but I'm no paleontologist. 1 ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From these photos, it does look like it has the typical reptile vert "ball and socket." Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about science books.........
