SoCal Paleo

Hello again. I’m sorry to tell you but this is a peice of chert. The fracture is very characteristic of that rock.

Hi there. So this is either a peice of cement or a conglomerate. See how there are smaller rocks in the rock? It is neither a skull nor bone. Skulls have multiple bones and bones would have striations/scarring from muscles.

@jbauer is this a fossil!?….

Hi, @oscar-velasco – it looks like a rock to me. Hard to tell what kind from images.

@jbauer really!!?…. lol I would show it to you in person if I could I was under the impression that you knew what you were looking at from pictures

@oscar-velasco to clarify, it does not look like a fossil to me. If I had to guess the rock looks igneous to me but like I said- hard to tell from images. Bring it to your local paleontologist.

Your photos suggest mafic intrusive igneous rock. The “foot?” is an erosion feature. Cool!

@james-brown 🎵get on up!!HEYY!!🎶🎶lovin’ the name bro thanks for the input

@jbauer it’s not a igneous rock AC/DC is igneous rock….lol jk thanks for input really appreciate it

this looks like the head of a humerus

This is actually the distal end of the femur. It looks more like cow or bison. Dinos don’t have those divots on the condyles. Also, generally speaking, most dinosaur bone is permineralized meaning the pore space in the bone is filled.

Hi Oscar. I’m sorry to tell you this but I think you have a rock called a conglomerate. There are a lot of large pebels in this piece meaning that it formed in a high energy environment like a fast moving river. Generally speaking, these sorts of rocks are bad for preserving fossils because because the water current tends to break most remains.

Thanks for for the input but take a closer look at it it has its eye close on the other side of the fossil u can see it’s feet I’m familiar with the type of rock your speaking of these is not one of them I’ll prove it to you once I’m done cleaning it I really appreciate your input thank you

I agree with @mackenzie-smith, @oscar-velasco. It’s a strange looking conglomerate rather than a fossil.

I’m still cleaning it when I started with this piece it look nothing like what it does now I can guarantee you it’s not what u think it is I’ll upload some more pics of the other side so u can see it’s feet there visible
