hndmarshall Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 ok found this but never took a really good look at it but upon looking at it a bit closer today I found it really resemble a Glyptodon scute. my question is is this what it looks like or is it another bust? If this is what it looks like that would be a cool find. it is 2 inches across and an inch and a quarter thick found in a gravel load west of Houston Texas from the Brazos River 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hndmarshall Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 have been finding lots of bone fragments and putting them together it was with my others as you can see from the pics now I think I may have to go through them and see if there are any others that can be identified. also makes me wonder if any of these could have came from the same animal? thank you all for the confirmation of the identification....I am rather excited! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 That load of gravel sure has offered some entertainment for you if nothing else. Great find and detective work on the Glyptotherium piece. I wonder what else that gravel pile has in store for you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
