Victor Perez replied to the topic Fossil- Vetebral Body from what? in the forum What Is It? 2 years, 3 months ago
2 years, 3 months ago2 years, 3 months agoHi Todd,
My best guess would be that it is either an ichthyosaur or dinosaur vertebra, given that the Cretaceous interior seaway cut through Phillips County, Montana.
There is a small museum you could visit/reach out to for more information: https://mtdinotrail.org/phillips-county-museum/
Best,
Victor

Victor Perez replied to the topic Are these teeth? in the forum What Is It? 2 years, 4 months ago

This tooth is from an extinct mackerel shark, Otodus obliquus. It is likely around 60 million years old and is the ancestor of the popular megatooth shark, Otodus megalodon.

2 years, 7 months ago2 years, 7 months agoI don’t really know what you mean by real or fake. It’s a real rock… Specifically it’s chert (a variant of quartz).

2 years, 8 months ago2 years, 8 months agoHi James, thanks for sharing your finds! Unfortunately, these all appear to be rocks rather than fossils. The one you thought is a coprolite is actually a rock called breccia.

3 years, 1 month ago3 years, 1 month agoHi Bill,
I know both Jorge and Austin, and I agree with their comments. It seems you’ve found some fossil whale bone, but unfortunately it also seems to be pretty heavily weathered. I cannot confirm which bone(s) you have or the species.

The black coloration looks like it came from Zone-1 of the Yorktown which is late Miocene reworked into the Pliocene.

Bill,
So if the fossils collected from Lee Creek (Yorktown) could range in age from the Late Miocene to the Late Pliocene, what are the other characters of the Lee Creek fossils which would pinpoint their age? I appreciate you help….Dave
