NWGeoFan Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Could you take photos in where the light is not so harsh? It is hard to make out any good details. "I am going to dig up dinosaurs whether they are liquid or solid" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWGeoFan Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Looks to me like a Vertebrae of some kind, but it doesn't look like anything I can recognize, hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to help.

Fossildude19 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 After editing the photos, I'm not sure it even looks like bone. Maybe others will weigh in. It's probably much too small and fragmentary to ID it, if it is bone.

ynot Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I think it could be bone, but as Fossildude19 said there is not any identifiable characteristics to make an id.

Rockwood Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Napoleon: Is this from a lag deposit ? That may explain the confusion. Broken surfaces get bashed into looking like an original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken surfaces get bashed into looking like an original. 166/5000 I found a specimen in the ground. In this position often come teeth chalk sharks. However, there are also contemporary rubbish and, for example, medieval times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Is it just me or did we just take a turn toward turtle ? Definitely some kind of bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow turtle And where did the turtle go? The only tortoises that could live here were mud turtles. But it's probably too big for him? Maybe someone dug a dead turtle? Or is it from the Cretaceous?

ynot Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I think it could be an ankle or wrist bone, but that is a guess. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

If you apply flame, does it give off a smell and black smoke? If so, it is likely recent. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
