bitterlily Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 I guess my first thoughts are whale bones. I have found some vertebra and a phalanx down the creek last week. These were buried in the creek wall and I believe in the Yorktown Formation. They are very heavy and have a solid “ring” to them when they touch. They’re on an 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper for size reference!
sixgill pete Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Those are pretty beat up and broken bones pieces. The 2 on the right in the first picture do look like they could be pieces of rib bone. The others I do not think you can go any further than calling them bone chunks. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022
bitterlily Posted February 4, 2020 Author Posted February 4, 2020 I wholeheartedly agree. Those chunks were right there with the larger pieces in the wall so I just photographed them all together.
