RJB Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Just ran into this in a little plastic bag. Still has the paper I wrote on that says I found it in April of 2000 at scotia at what we locals use to call 'The Bowl. Not sure what it is but if its important I will let Bobby Boesinecker know and see if he wants it or not. Still got to prep it out though. Im thinking peniped, but what do I know?

If Ron thinks it’s worth prepping it ought to be interesting or at the very least an education. A peniped (penniped) as in a seal or close relative bone? Is that a common type of bone or fossil found there? I can’t say that I have ever seen a seal or walrus fossil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t say that I have ever seen a seal or walrus fossil. Sorry bout my spelling. never passed highschool cause of it. Anyways, Yes, penniped as in seal of some kind and no, not common at all. i use to hunt scotia 40 to 60 times a year and was about the only guy who found bone at Scotia but the locals went there to find the big Pectens. Those are considered the koo-dee-graw for that place. and hows that for spelling? Here is a picture of the pectens everyone was after.

RJB Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Ok, worked on this most of the day. Had an idea that it might be a tuff prep job, but holy cow! Tuffer than i had anticipated. Very very sticky this one. But now I can see thats its a complete bone. Only a guess, but im thinking some kind of arm bone of penniped? Gots a long ways to go though.

Just the way it goes. RB Importance is subjective for sure. Does it singularly add to the knowledge of the fossil record for the greater scientific community? Possibly not. Does it add to the knowledge of the fossil record for TFF or anyone collecting the site? It certainly does. Sounds pretty important to me.
