4 years ago4 years agoThanks @gloria-carr! It’s possible, but I still have a strange feeling I collected this specimen in the Hell Creek Formation. The matrix it is composed ofwhat looks like the freshwater shale strata of the HCF. But, it could be Pierre Shale. My only reason for stating this is because I stored it in a box with a few Xiphactinus vertebrae from the…[Read more]

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @william-biesele, such a cool specimen! Thanks for checking out where it is housed @gloria-carr!
I updated your field notes to include this: Reposited at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site. Specimen Number SGDS-74.
The identifier is who identified the specimen rather than the specimen ID number. Does that make sense? We will want to make…[Read more] -

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @fred-anfilofieff – You can update your taxonomy if you are confident in your identification. Here is some information on the family : https://paleobiodb.org/classic/basicTaxonInfo?taxon_no=39624
I can tag in some local experts @mackenzie-smith and @gloria-carr to weigh in with their knowledge.

@jbauer @fred-anfilofieff I agree that it’s some sort of duck ulna. I don’t know if one can say mallard specifically but then again, I don’t know too much about duck osteology.

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @jessenia-villanueva – We can update your taxonomy if you are confident in your muskrat ID: https://paleobiodb.org/classic/basicTaxonInfo?taxon_no=41724
Maybe @mackenzie-smith or @gloria-carr can chime in with their more local expertise.
Talk to you soon, Jen

@jbauer Nope, nothing else for me to add. Looks good! Just needs the taxonomy filled out. The lateral and medial condyles look a little more pronounced on this specimen than modern muskrats but idk how much variability is in the condyles.

5 years ago5 years ago@carlos-solana-redondo yes you’re generally right but in this case the specimen(s) does appear to be modern and not fossilized. It still has its original shine and coloration, traits that are usually lost during fossilization. During fossilization it might acquire new colors/textures, but it will rarely keep all of its original features like is t…[Read more]

5 years, 2 months ago5 years, 2 months ago@gloria-carr You tagged me! 😀 An email notification get’s sent when you @ someone but we are working at trying to get it to be obvious in the app. Juglans bergomensis (the butternut that Steve and I described from the Astoria) has a ribbed shell so it’s not that. It’s hard to interpret if this is a 5 loculole fruit or a weird fracture causing us…[Read more]
