abyssunder Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 42 minutes ago, Mike Price said: I've surfed a lot of threads in this forum and have seen and learned a little. Im digging in buckets because I've been able to finally identify what bones they are. I've been collecting bones for almost 40yrs. I have a huge collection of fossils/bones and I could post pics every day for the rest of year. I'm not a Chunk-o-saurus. When I lay out buckets of bones, I match them up. That's why I usually take group photos. Anyway... Thanks again. I see that, Mike. Maybe we have (at least me) not enough time to purify all of the things presented/requested/questioned in any possible moment of our life, but I think, we could go back sometimes with more potential, trying to resolve the missing parts of our thoughts. I have only 35 years hunting the treasures, not too much. Maybe I have to ask, are they fish skull elements (the last ones)? They remind me of that.

Mike Price Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 I dont know what they are. Just more cool little bones. And theres not much hope for finding the missing parts of my thoughts. I lost my mind years ago. I did do 6yrs Navy. Ive been oilfield trash for 30yrs. I can drill a well, or cap when it blows out. I never had time to learn about bones, but love to hunt them and put them away. Now I'm retired and I can try to learn about bones. With a little help from my friends..... cheeeese 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song And I'll try not to sing out of key " - Joe Cocker (one of my favorite musicians) ( I had the opportunity to see him live-in-concert, in Bucharest, along Rod Stewart. He was in black, Rod was in white. He cried when he sang that song... believe me) 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Mike Price Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 This heavy polished bone washed up on High Island, on the Bolivar Peninsula, Galveston County, Texas. I'm not sure what it is. But it has 2 gouge marks or teeth marks in it? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Price Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 I seen a few other pieces found on a beach like this today and the collectors thought they might be pieces of whale or fish bones. If it's plausible, that might explain the 2 side by side V shape teeth gouges in this piece. I have another heavy polished beach piece that looks like this example....

ynot Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think the pieces are to worn yo tell anything. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Mike Price Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 I was searching the forum for Camarasaurus- sauropod type foot claws. Based on a few other examples I thought these 2 pieces I found on the Brazos river might possibly be Camarasaurus or a sauropod type foot claws. But I was wrong. It was suggested, I post them here in fossil ID because "they don't seem to be cretaceous finds but much earlier in age." I have other similar types, big & small, some need to be stabilized. #1 #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
