cleanbreaks719 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Picked up several specimens during my exploration of what I believe to be a local outcropping of the Pierre Shale in Colorado Springs. A decently preserved Baculites for sure with nice sutures and an unknown fossil. Any help this one would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Your unknown fossil looks to be a wierd break and im purty sure its not a fossil? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Chris Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 We visited the Pierre Shale one year we went to the Denver rock show. Pulled over to an outcrop on the side of the road we had never seen before and it was filled with fossil marine amphibian bones! Great stuff, and your baculites is a great find! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arizona Chris Paleo Web Site: http://schursastrophotography.com/fossiladventures.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Your baculite is really pretty - I love the iridescence at the edges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I think your unknown is a geologic - example of Cone-in-cone structures.

FossilDAWG Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I agree that the "unknown" is a nice example of cone-in-cone calcite. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Marine Amphibian Bones" ?? !! NO such ting... maybe reptiles, but not amphibians. Just to keep everyone on their toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Chris Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Ok, maybe it was reptile. So many years ago.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arizona Chris Paleo Web Site: http://schursastrophotography.com/fossiladventures.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I was wondering about that! Maybe a giant mosasaur-eating frog, to go along with its dinosaur eating cousin? Reptile makes for sense. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
