I was in Maryland last week for a work conference. After the conference finished on Friday I headed out to hunt at Brownie’s Beach.
I found a lot of little stuff. Nothing big. Anyway, many of the bone fragments are chunkosaurus. But I think these may be identifiable.
I have put them in 2 rows of 4 each.
Row 1 are 1-4 left to right.
Row 2 are 5-8 left to right.
First pic is top side. 2nd pic is the bottom.
1. I think could be a fragment of vertebra, maybe where the spinous process attached.
2. Maybe a piece of turtle shell?
3. A scute from a turtle or something.
4. Possibly a rib fragment. One end tapers pretty thin and it has a curve to it.
5. Is a mammal vertebra
6. It may be nothing. It is very hard and may just be a phosphatized piece of something. It has a bit of texture of eroded keratin or something. I’m guessing it’s nothing, but wanted to ask.
7. Maybe a fragment of turtle shell or bone. The hole on it is curious, but looks like eroded bone.
8. It has an unusual, convoluted surface texture, but from the side it is unmistakably bone. Could it be turtle? My 2nd guess is a fragment of an epiphysis or vertebral disk, but it doesn’t really look like that pattern.
I can provide more pics of any of the items if needed.
Thanks for comment or insight. I’ve never hunted this type of environment or formation before so it was all new to me.
