Skin imprint on bone or primitive tool

Recommended Posts

I am new to this so excuse my lack of terminology. I am looking for help identifying what this is. I picked it up next to a excavation sight that I have pulled hundreds of bones from. I have also found many primitive stone tools in the same location. I found what appeared to be a primitive tool. Upon closer examination I have discovered the top half covered in a leather like impression. I am not certain that this is a tool, or a bone but I am under the assumption that this is a impression of skin on this object. Any information will be helpful.  I will be posting pictures of the amazing bones I have collected in hopes of identifying what dinosaur I have. This was collected in the north Saskatchewan river, just off of the shore.

Perhaps it is a snake skin impression left on a mineral, but It would be a pretty massive snake to wrap around all sides of the specimen....When you see the bones Im about to post there may be more to it. I have an entire excavation I am working on, and this was located right in the middle of it. I have not identified what prehistoric reptile I have dug up, and will be looking for help.

No, it is the way the mineral developes in the ground. No organics are involved, reptile or any other.

 

Looking forward to seeing what else You have found.
