Roberta NJ CA Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thank you to everyone who responded t my "sea Lion" id. I'm attaching pictures of large piece that was found in the same crate of what I thought was a sea lion - the brown coloring is the same... I have several other pieces but just sending the larger ones as to not take up your time. Thank you I am sending more pictures from different angles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 From this picture I can see what looks to be a vertabra? Looks like many more bones as well. I wasn't here for the other thread, what is the age? I've heard of Miocene from California, maybe cetaceans? 1 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta NJ CA Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 hi thanks for your response. My father collected fossils he and his friend owned the property which they were found. They were found In a ravine that had caved in. I sent pics yesterday as I recall him saying it was sea lion pinniped. Ill attach more pica attempting to upload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izak_ Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 That looks like bone to me! Can we have some close ups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Looks like you got some brain case on the top picture, may be pinniped, I'm not really qualified to say so or not. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Looks like a mess, but that doesnt mean anything. What about doing some prep on it to expose more? RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Or getting a professional to do so, looks like there may be many bones and it could be rather time consuming. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta NJ CA Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 sent yesterday in seal lion? post. trying to upload - slow! I have several others I can send if interested - right now attempting to send Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta NJ CA Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 very slow to upload... here's a side view. Yes, I totally agree that I need a professional to handle this. I am amateur and my father left a plethora of rocks and fossils to me. Cant find the logbook - I went there twice with them when I was around 10 but they collected many times. Ill take up close pictures later. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 To summarize, if they look like something with multiple possible IDs, then they might be geological in origin. I would go with lichefaction process (and related to this), in a context of a seismically active region. Look here for more information.

ynot Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Can You be a little more specific about the location? Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

abyssunder Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 You are correct. What was in the corrector de ortografia... I don't know, but are you agree with the hypothesis?
