ynot Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Welcome to TFF! Need more views of item 1. Crocodile vert for 2. Fish scale (?) for 3. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I agree with Tony. More pictures are necessary for the first two. The last one looks like either a fish scale or a dermal denticle.

abyssunder Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I'll go with dermal denticle for specimen three. Maybe the the first one is a hyperostosed bone (tilly bone).

caldigger Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 The first one looks like a mussel shell to my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveToLook Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 1 turned upside down. 2 from another angle and the backside sitting on its end. It has one end with a nub out and the other end with a recessed area. The vertebra is starting to make sense based on the in and out characteristics. The back is chipped off and exposes a hollow core - spinal cord? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Thank you for the new pictures. I remain in my initial thought. 1 - Tilly bone comparative picture from here 3 - ray dermal denticle comparative picture from here " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
