dino embryo?

[dinodawn]

What does anyone think of this? Is it nothing or something? Found south central Indiana. I think I have another one like it if I can find it. I've kept them for several years just waiting to see what they might be. Thanks in advance for any input, dawn

Gonna need pix or a description or something.

[Sir Wearer of Hats]

No pictures slick.

[Davros of Skaro]

It's clearly a Mastodon embryo.

[bubblykiss]

I found the pix

And no, it is not a dino, it is just standard plate armor for a mouse.

[Sir Wearer of Hats]

A cybermat?

[dinodawn]

I did post pics, I don't know why they didn't come thru. And if I do have a Mastodon embryo then I'm about to be a zillionaire cuz it's in a shell It won't let me upload them and I don't know how to make them smaller. thanks anyway

[Sir Wearer of Hats]

Post them again, and make sure you click "add to post" as well as "upload photo"

[dinodawn]

I figured it out...hopefully

[glorybebe]

Pretty interesting. I would show the pics to an archeologist if there is one around. Do you have a college/university near you?

[Sir Wearer of Hats]

Could be a gastrolyth.

[dinodawn]

Thank you Sir Hat. Although I'm fairly certain that this is not a gastrolyth, now that I've researched it, it explains several of the fossils I have. Glory Bebe, I planned on contacting someone from IU but I wanted to ask the actual collectors before I took this to a prof and looked the idiot. I have more confidence about it now. Thanks

See that's where george bush screwed up - no guitar, no theme song. Just a tank and no talent. Of course I'm pretty sure Capaldi would have been a better President too. , no seriously. (Whovian since #4)

Do you know the geologic layer it came from?

[+Hammerclaw]

A coprolite.

[dinodawn]

Not a coprolite although I have several nice examples. And no, I don't know which geological layer because I found it in south central Indiana and it was in the glacier trails. But several sauropods bones have been found relatively near the site.

[glorybebe]

Keep us posted of any info you get! I am quite curious.

[dinodawn]

Well, I found these nearby, don't know if they're bone or not but there they were..... The last one is just some cool stone age tools. Let me know what you think.
