MaximusTN Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Please help identify a bone fragment that was found at the W.M. Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park in Baldwyn, MS. The item is interesting in that it has flat surfaces on what appears to be the top and bottom. Neither surface is porous. The bottom has more area above it that is solid. Dimensions are approx 1” L x 1/2” W x 1/2” T. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I'm afraid all that can be said with any certainty is that you have a fragment which displays both cortical (dense) and spongy (cancellous) bone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaximusTN Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 Thanks for looking. Was hoping those two flat sides would give some clues about location. I figured it was a shot in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David in Japan Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) I think it might be a turtle shell fragment. You can still see the weared shell pattern on the 3rd photo.
