Shark255 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I recently took a trip to the Iron Hill Museum in Newark, Delaware. (Which has amazing displays by the way. Its small, but fascinating.) There, I bought a small bag of about 10 fossils. I knew what most of them were, but there are a few I am unsure of what they actually are. I was wondering if anyone on the Forum could help me. All I know is that all of the Fossils were found in either Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania. 1. This one I was told that this is some kind of bone fragment. 2. This is also another bone fragment. 3. I think this is a bone fragment. 4. I know this is a vertebra but I am not sure what kind. I am pretty sure it is marine. 5. This is some kind of tooth. 6. No idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 4 looks like a (caudal?) cetacean vertabra, and the tooth is hard to tell without better pictures with more light. Bone fragments are rarely identifiable. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Not to wake the dead on NYE but could you post more pictures of #1? It looks familiar to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
