jojo Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 This rock has had me thinking for years and thoughts its probably just natural but there just so many points of interest in it. Have a look and see if you see what I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I see a natural rock, albeit one with points of interest.

Boesse Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Sorry, looks like a rock. I don't think pterosaur embryos are known yet. Keep in mind that embryonic remains in fossil eggs are only known from a few localities worldwide, and 99.9999% of fossil eggs have no embryos.

jojo Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 I appreciate yall taking a look. When I picked it up . I thought it was a fossilized leaf. But then kept noticing the different things . And it being found in south texas and talk of the long neck long tail pterasaurs found in the big bend area just kept circling my mind. Can you tell what kind a leaf it is?

tracer Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 it isn't a leaf. it's a rock. rocks form in numerous ways and frequently have odd shapes or patterns that lead people to believe there's more there than there really is. but a key to finding real fossils is not to try too hard to see them, or you'll be picking up mastodon tooth fragments that are really oyster shells.
