Mike from North Queensland Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I would have guessed bone for the first specimen. The main comment I will make is the preservation is completely different to the second specimen so being a creek find unlikely both are from the same formation / age. But will sway to someone with a better knowledge of the formation Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 The first specimen is a bone shard. Second is a fenestrate bryozoan. Dating the bone shard is going to be hard; could be fairly recent. 3 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Steelheadtracker Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Just did another search hoping to find more but nothing. The creek bottom has a lot of clay in some areas and silt in some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guguita2104 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm with bryozoan (maybe Fenestella) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I agree, first item is bone, likely modern, possibly a bit of butcher remains or deer. Second is a bryozoan.

Steelheadtracker Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Sorry if this is a dumb question, but when you say could be modern, how old is considered modern when it comes to fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Less than 10,000 years, ... I believe. Hold a match or lighter to it ... if it smells like burning hair, it's modern.
