Adze Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I would really appreciate your help in identifying these fossils from eastern Virginia. I'm not familiar with the formations enough to give a name. I think number 6 may be a Pleistocene horse? I'm having trouble with photo sizing. I will try to add another pic of the other side in the comments. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Harvey Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I would say that 8-10 are turtle carapace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Nice finds. It would help if You separate the pieces and post pictures from all sides. Agree with turtle for 8, 9 and 10. I think 1 and 5 are fish, but really need better pictures to be sure. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Adze Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thank you for number 5. I think 4 may be a fish operculum of some sort. I will try to get better pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Flipped the pics, cropped, and brightened them a bit: Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
