FossilsandScience Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hey everyone, I was digging in the Lance Formation of Wy and I came upon this odd fossil. It doesn’t look like rock to me and a few others have agreed with me. I have been researching what it might possibly be, when I came across this Forum article, My fossil looks identical to part of the cranium element above and I was wondering what you guys think it might be. Could it be a partial Cranium Element? There is a few pieces of sand a matrix covering a tiny section that makes the fossil look whitish, but it’s all brownish in coloration. Any info is appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossil_sea_urchin Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 @FossilsandScience I think it could be something, but to me it doesn't look like bone. It looks a little like flint and If you look at a cranium, it's very smooth and structured. The only ID I can make is rock, but I wouldn't give up on it yet as it looks interesting. For future posts maybe don't link something from the lance formation with a miocene fossil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
