LStamm Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Was hiking near Moab, Utah, climbed about 100 feet up a cliff to look for ruins, and stumbled across these. The rock was Jurassic-era sandstone. They were spread over an area about 20 x 20. Could they be dinosaur bones? If so, what kind? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I don't think so. Closer up views would be better. But they don't look boney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Interesting, but I’m not seeing fossils in these pictures. It looks more geologic to me. Maybe like some veining within the rock or precipitation of minerals within cracks. But maybe others are more familiar with the exact area and can tell you what they have seen.

caldigger Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 My experience with Moab is with invertebrate marine enviornment deposits. I would be inclined to go with the mineral precipitation ClearLake mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 There is a lot of dinosaur bearing Morrison Fm around Moab, but these are not dinsoaur bones. Calcite veins maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
