duz Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Can anyone ID these bones? They are from the Two Medicine Formation, they have these weird bumps on them which I first thought was skin but it looks like it's part of the bone or whatever it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Wow.......i'm no dino expert, but that does look very similar to skin. Very awesome find if it is! @Troodon should really take a look. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I have some turtle shell pieces from the Fort Crittenden Formation (Late Cretaceous) of southern Arizona that look much like this. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Thanks for looking, I have some other pieces from around the same area but I can't tell if they are from a turtle or if they are egg shells. There's 3 different kinds I found, the left looks like turtle, the middle I'm almost certain is egg shell and no clue what the right side is. I also found teeth fragments scattered all over, those were more interesting so spent all my time looking for teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 your initial post pieces look like Basilemys, which is a turtle known form the Lance and Hell Creek. not sure which relative of it is in the Two Medicine. In you r second to last photo, I see soft-shelled turtle, eggshell and croc scute (l to r on the ruler). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
