Weez Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I don't know where this was found. Looks to me like it could be a piece of turtle shell.
rejd Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 It looks like a piece of shell to me. A fossil hunter needs sharp eyes and a keen search image, a mental template that subconsciously evaluates everything he sees in his search for telltale clues. -Richard E. Leakey http://prehistoricalberta.lefora.com
Scylla Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Probable plastron portion, possible piece position perplexing.
RichW9090 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 No, it is a neural. mid-line carapace element, remnants of attachment to vertebra showing. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".
jpc Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) No, it is a neural. mid-line carapace element, remnants of attachment to vertebra showing. Yup.. what he said. Looks like Willwood Fm stuff, like your possible mammal teeth. It's got that purple Willwood coating. Edited March 9, 2015 by jpc
Scylla Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 No, it is a neural. mid-line carapace element, remnants of attachment to vertebra showing. OK, fine. But that is not nearly as alliterative.
RichW9090 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Plastron? No! Not - never! Neural! Now known nicely, no doubt. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".
Scylla Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Plastron? No! Not - never! Neural! Now known nicely, no doubt. That's better Thanks guys anytime
