Jennifer A Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 There is a rather large, and lonely, rock at a park near our house. This is one of my sons standing on it Now, like I said in my hello post, it's been a long while since I've been hunting so... Are those a bone and tooth or have I lost what's left of my mind?

Vieira Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I think those fossils are sheel and crinoids fragments. Not a bone or a tooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Lots of shells in cross section, some shell imprints, and crinoid stem in the last picture. Fossils, but sea floor, not bones.

Jennifer A Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Thanks! It's nice to know that even if I was wrong about what it was that there's still something there. Wish I knew where it came from, I'd love to look at the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Lots of fossils but this doesn't rule out insanity!

CraigHyatt Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Lots of fossils but this doesn't rule out insanity! Yeah. I thought it might be a trick question. :-PDo you want to clean the gutters or have some apple pie first?

Jennifer A Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hehe, I suppose it is a bit of a trick question. With four kids between the ages of 5 and 12 I question my sanity on an hourly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
