LabRatKing Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Any formation info? I honestly only see geologics here: mudcracks and flowstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I understand what you think you are seeing but these all appear to be lithified cracked mud (mudstone). Look at the images in this search to see many similar patterns. https://www.google.com/search?q=dried+mud&tbm=isch Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA fossils Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Im just sharing what Andrew Fark form The Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology here in California told me I had found. Location Seligman AZ CA border if you notice the multiple layers of dermis, as mud does not build up cracks in layers because it would desolve and turn into a clump of mud soon as it got wet again. If the skin in the photos were made of mud I could see why you think mud and flowstone. photos 2 and 3 have interesting scale patter5 and 6 you can see the layers and a patch of scale. if you look in the link that was sent by the moderator you will notice curling of silty mud and wide cracking and they are right about similar patterns but if you noticed there are no layers just one and a significant difference in look and will not dissolve break or crumble when wet. thank you for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 What did Dr Farke say your skin and scutes belong to? What formation, age or locality are your objects from? 1 Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!

I don't believe Dr Farke would have said those were Ankylosaurus and Stegosaurus from the Triassic though 1 Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!
