4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoYep and I have studied up and I have roof in my pocket now. Apparently there were millions of rays here and I have been picking up bits and prices of them for a long time. Apparently in my mind o was putting these pieces togetjern in my mind and I knew I had a creature.

What sort of fossil are you seeing, @heath-carroll?
-
They are inside the limestone mostly corals and plant life and a lot of ray parts
-
I found a couple of crinoid. But mostly trying to figure out the creature/ray. I started cleaning the skeletons but I don’t want it to fall apart it’s very delicate it has the cartilage hip bones and the support for the fin. It’s very cool so as soon as it’s identified I will decide how to move forward. I only retrieved the medium and small o…[Read more]

I figure if it’s been there for several million years a couple more days won’t hurt it.
-
Hi, @heath-carroll I will be very surprised if you are finding cartilage in these rocks. Why don’t you try to take some of the rocks to a local museum or geology department where someone can look at them in person?
-
They have the fin cartilage plates for sure. I have them sumewhat washed off. These are clean I won’t have to pick at thes or acid lol.
-
Google search Iowa’s 3 headed dragon. It will take you to Iowa geological society. Pretty interesting stuff
-
I tried searching that phrase and nothing came up regarding the geological society. The issue is that cartilage does not really preserve in the rock record – except in very rare circumstances. It’s not hard like bone and the chemicals and pressures through time break it down.

@heath-carroll – I don’t see any bone here. What sort of features are indicating it is bone to you?

Sorry, this isn’t bone.

Hi, @heath-carroll – this image is too blurry for @vperez or I to see anything in, sorry!

I agree with Jenn. On a side note, @heath-carroll if you want to mention someone in a comment you need to use the @ symbol before their username rather than the # symbol. I haven’t been getting notifications for your comments.

Hi, @heath-carroll – I’m not seeing any fossil remains in this rock. @vperez and @fauve-wilson are more familiar with rays than I am so maybe they will see something I don’t.

Sorry still not a ray. This site will help if you’d like to look at some shark and ray fossils http://elasmo.com/
