Is this ankylosaur skin it matches the euoplcephalus skin above found in dinosaur provincial park.

Sorry dinosaur man. 
I'm not seeing any similarity. 
Yours is a sandstone cobble.

I thought it was fossilized skin because beside it where bone fragments and a toe bone

If it is geologic what can cause the rings in the sandstone

Not a geologist so the precise mechanism from which causes the rings and shapes is unknown to me but it's probably wind and rain. Just can say it's not a fossil.

If you compare to the other photo you posted you have to ask what happened to the other features evident in that photograph. Judging by the amount of wear in your specimen there should be much more of those features evident. Also, if the circular feature at the right edge of your specimen is part of the fossil, why is the impression so deep? This is inconsistent with the way this matrix would erode/wear. I don't think that the skin would have varied that much in thickness as evidenced by this specimen either.

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
