ynot Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Can You please give more information-- Location? Age? Also can You take pictures without covering the vert? My first impression is a cetatean, but age of fossil may change that opinion. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Fossildude19 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 @SalomonAssissel I've merged your two posts. No need to have 2 different posts for the same item. Sometimes it takes a while for our experts to chime in. With the Eclipse happening today, the Forum may be a bit quieter than normal. It is not unusual for Identification to take a few days. Some patience is required. Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Kane Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 One fairly good way of determining age is in knowing the geological formation it was found in. If that is not known, it may be a good idea to collect other fossils at the same level of the strata in the event that one of them might be what is known as an index fossil (i.e., typical for a particular formation, and not appearing in other strata). ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see if there are any geological maps of the area where it was found. This should be able to narrow down the age for You. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
