Rsmull Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Found these the other day in the GMR. Bone on the right I believe may be a femur but don't know if it is bird or small mammal. The object on the left I think may be turtle shell any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greel Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Rsmull, I have a bone from GMR that looks like yours. I took it to the Aurora fossil festival to have it identified and was told it was a turtle leg bone. I will dig it out and get a pic of it on here for comparison. -greel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ball and socket typical of reptile, but seems too small for mosasaur. It doesn't look like snake to me either, so I'm guessing turtle. -greel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notorynchus Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 That bone on the right is indeed a turtle shell fragment. Frederik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
