Newbie77 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Hello fossil community! I have had the pleasure of digging quite a bit in the Ernst Quarries. I unfortunately have broken some pieces while removing them from the matrix. I have looked through many pictures but can’t find good references for what these bones were and what they would have looked like for reconstruction. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I dig a ton, but know relatively little. Thank you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Those are awesomely cool! I think you got some marine mammal ear bone fragments...Hoping something significant/new... Bobby can set us straight if he has some time. @Boesse Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie77 Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Wonderful! Thank you @cckand @Plantguy for chiming in. Hopefully @Boesse will have time to take a peak too. I appreciate your time and input. My husband would love my table to stop looking like this… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fin Lover Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Wow, you have a lot of nice finds! 1 Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Husbands claim entire rooms!!! Ridiculous man cave nonsense. ENJOY the heck out of that table layout. 😁😉 A fossil cave makes far more sense. Go claim something in the name of science! Jp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 LOL! Me and the wife compromised when we got our house. She does whatever she wants with the main floor, the basement is mine and we split the top floor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
