JJryd Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I know it’s probably a dumb thing to think but me and my wife can’t get over how much this looks like a human skull in every way. Been looking online just for some answer on how to identify if it is or isn’t. I found it in a river almost completely submerged in a nasty mud and green water that was in a calm of the river Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombk Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 It looks like a pretty solid rock in your photos. The overall shape is sort of skull-like, but I’m not seeing any bone-like texture or sutures. (Sutures are what you call the places where two parts of the various skull bones come together. Google “sagittal suture” and you’ll see what I mean.) I also don’t see parts (like the eyes sockets or jaw bone) that I’d expect to see in a skull. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Not a fossil. No bone texture, or cranial sutures. No eye orbits, nasal foramen, or jaw/mandibles. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

JJryd Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 Thank you guys for the info. It really creeped us out cause of the features that resembled a face so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Human remains do show up at sea side fossil sites where erosion has exposed cemeteries that the receding shoreline has engulfed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Does not resemble a human skull. Not even vaguely. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
