Brevicollis Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Hello, I'm sorry to dissapoint, but I dont think its a screaming bird. I think this is a case of Pareidolia . I can definetly see the resemblence of one, but those are just structures in the rock. A skull doesnt preserve with soft tissue in this way, it would rather fossilize just with bones and rather be crushed or disarticulated. But hey, altough this is'nt a bird fossil and just a form of pareidolia, I think that this is a great example, as even I can see really easily the resemblence of one a bird's head. I would keep it, if I had found it 1 My account and something about me : My still growing collection : My paleoart : I'm just a young guy who really loves fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Eileenk Posted October 12 Author New Members Share Posted October 12 Ha too late, I already told my son that it’s a bird! I’ll just tell him that it’s called a pereidola bird, 😁 Thanks for the reply! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 I must admit that you do have a great imagination. 1 1 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might I suggest that you point out other such creatures as a way of introducing the concept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 It may not be a bird but it is a nice example of a partial geode! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
