Fossils, Dino head

Welcome to the Forum. :) 

I don't see any dinosaur material, but some shells/brachiopods/corals, perhaps.

  • Fossildude19 changed the title to Fossils, Dino head

It would help if You take pictures from all sides (straight on) with a plain background of just one rock at a time.

When there are so many pieces it is hard to know what is being commented on.

Also coins do not make a good scale, because the non US people do not know the size.

 

The black rock on the pile does not look like any fossil I know of.

It does look like a brecciated silicate mineral (quartz).

I see plenty of fossils, but I unfortunately see no dinosaur. 

 

I would agree with ynot that the object you believe is a dinosaur head is likely to be a chunk of brecciated silicate minerals.

 

But I do see lots of invertebrate fossils on the other rocks, especially shell and possibly coral imprints.

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

I have found features similar to the ones in the darker rock. I considered the possibility that they are poorly preserved loboliths, but found no clear indication.

Not seeing a dinosaur skull, or any skull or bone, for that matter. 

Still just looks like shell material/imprints/casts to me.  :(

I see pattern indicating differential erosion, so I think it might be a speleogen ("boxwork"), or similar.
Looking from a far distance, it does resamble a human face. :)
