Fossildude19 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Pareidolia. Not seeing any kind of lizard fossil. Where was this found? Country, state, region/county would be helpful. Are lizard fossils known from the area? 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

rocket Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 incredible piece..., wow Peltosaurus, I think I have to go digging there to find one, super specimen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The Peltosaurus is from the White River Formation of South Dakota, often called The Badlands. I don't like that terminology because Badlands refers to any area where the terrain is rough and has very few plants. Badlands exist in many many formations here in the American west including the White River, Bridger, Washakie, Wasatch, Hell Creek, etc. Rant over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
