Sam240, No fencing anywhere in the vicinity.
The specimen was taken directly from the matrix and does not react to a metal detector in an all metal/iron setting. I have a picture attached of a section of the matrix it came from as an example.
The fossilized aluvial sediment has a dinosaur gastrolith protruding from it and has several water worn shark teeth as well as other boney material throughout.
Nice try, I will continue to monitor any input anyone has on this specimen.
I will reconsider Lewis Jacobs' offer to examine it in SMU's laboratory with an understanding that it will be returned with minimal damage.
So far, the paleoentomologist has the upper hand on any positive identification.
Still though it does not exibit any of the norm for insect burrowing, but it does exibit some egg casing appearances.
Has anyone ever seen a shark egg casing before? It does have some of the same appearances but that would mean it was fossilized before being deposited in the matrix and a shark egg casing is soft material.
Identification is still a mystery......
Allen, by far you have one of the most ludicrist and possibily the funniest I have ever heard. I just had to reply to your post.
BTW I'm still laughing.
