Kaushik Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Hello, I have found a strange fossil-like head of a dinosaur (I hope!) but I am not going to hope, because this rock was found in the backyard of my house. I am not sure what it is, but if it is not a fossil, can someone kindly tell me what it is (including the name of the rock and how it got there) and explain why this is just a coincidence.

Innocentx Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Interesting concretion that's somewhat suggestive in shape. This may be conglomerate. No evidence of a fossil, but don't give up. It appears you are in the Mesozoic so there's probably such things to find. 2 "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 This looks like a mudstone/sandstone/chert concretion, to me. (Hard to tell from this picture.) No bone texture, no skull morphology. As to how it got in your backyard? Any number of explanations are possible. Glacier, construction, human intervention. (Maybe someone else thought it was a dino skull, too.)
