Hi folks...
Over the summer...
speaking of summer, it is a chilly 12 degrees out this morning (minus 10 C)
Over the summer, I did squeeze in a few field trips. I explored a new Lance Fm bone bed and found this bone that I cannot identify.
I think the two pieces fit together but I have not completed the prep yet on the smaller piece.
Here are pix of the t-shaped bone. It is symmetrical, so it comes from the midline of some Cretaceous critter.
This view (below) shows that the edge of the cross-piece of the T looks like sutures, so it was connected there to some other bone. I have compared it to turtle shells and hadrosaur skulls...and I get nothing.
Can anyone help ID htthis thing?
I hope to share some more pix of my summer's finds soon. But I need to finish some prep projects first.
