sseth Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Just wanted to share the x-ray of a fossil we extracted this weekend at our Quarry. All we could see was the cross section and we were pretty sure it was an amia but this sealed the deal. Notice that it's jaws have floated back by the tail and will need to be removed and re-inserted back in the skull. These are very uncommon in our quarry so we were very excited. Enjoy. 3 _____________________________________ Seth www.fossilshack.com www.americanfossil.com www.fishdig.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Wow, the people who built that machine probably never thought the bones it would look at would be millions of years old!

FossilSniper Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Very cool! Personally, I did not even know fossils could be x-rayed. That is a great way to find fossils! I am looking forward to see it prepared. Also- how big is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
