J.D. Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Found this one in the water near Fossil Beach at Westmoreland State Park. Very smooth on one side. Any suggestions? Is it a skull piece or maybe a joint piece? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Looks like the ball joint of a femur, to me. Not sure there is enough there to say much more. Wait for other opinions, though. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

J.D. Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 Kinda looked like that to me. I have heard tales of large mammal finds in that formation, but … well… even a piece like this would be fun if confirmed to be what you suggest. Thanks for your response!

jpc Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I say femur head as well. There are not really any rounded parts like this on a mammal skull. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
