RyanNREMTP Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I got back a little bit ago from the DPS field trip to a creek in Sherman, Texas. I know the area is late Cretaceous Period but I don't know what formation it is. We went to mostly find sharks teeth and oh did I find just a few. I found a few other things like three pieces of horse or cow's tooth. Along the things I found was this. I think it is a claw of some sort. It has a portal in it where a blood vessel ran through it. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) That is a jaw fragment sir. But I'm not sure from what. Is it fossilized? It looks like a small mammal carnivore to me....
