Skull Shaped Object with a round object fused to it.

For there to be a mold, there must be a cast. True?

A cast comes out of a mold.

If it was a "cast" of the inside of a skull would look like the hollow voids inside the cranium - and nothing like the skull.

If it was a cast where a skull had been and then was removed (or eroded, dissolved, etc.) it may look like a skull - but the process would be difficult to understand - how was the rock around it formed to allow more sediment to come in later after the surrounding soil was mineralized and form a cast inside where the skull had been? Leaving no trace of the original bone. Teeth are especially durable. If there were teeth there - they would now be fossilized teeth. They don't evaporate. They are already hardened beyond "ossified" (enamel over calcified bone) and just further mineralize.

So you are saying that teeth can stand the test of time?

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

Pretty much.

This one is from a Megladon that's been extinct 3,000,000 years or more.

 

[molgreg]

3 Million years is hardly a test of time.

Try it.

That`s just crazy !

Here's a fossil of one of the oldest known mammals. 160,000,000 years +/-

Note the "rodent like" teeth.

Keep looking, you might get lucky and find the paper and scissors too...

My imagination is currently broken, some fella with a 60 pound rock trying to convince folks it was bigfoots head broke it.

Congrats on your find, make sure you get all that in writing.

Any chance that you could invite Dr. Garrison to this forum? There has got to be an explanation for this.

Is this him? http://geology.uga.edu/directory/people/ervan-garrison

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

Done. I'll let you know if I get a response.

Hello,

I recently found an extremely suggestive rock that mirrors a skull with a round object fused to it's jaw. I took it to a geologist from University of Georgia, Dr. Garrison. He estimated that it was approximately 250 million years old. He also said that it was a cast of a creature that died in sediment. The sediment filled in the organic parts and created a cast.

I contacted Dr. Garrison and sent him a link to this thread . . .

Hmmm. Can't recall that one but.Best.

Apparently it was nothing too remarkable or memorable.

Its a POR= Plain Old Rock

[SnakemanBill]

Just a rock. Can I have some of what you're smoking?

If a professor told it was a fossil, it was only to get you to leave him alone. Nothing but a rock. A completely natural rock. Have you ever seen a fossilized skull?

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

The professor (Dr. Garrison) said "I have no recollection of having examined it" when I contacted him on April 25th.

The professor (Dr. Garrison) had no recollection of having examined it when I contacted him on April 25th and sent him a link to one of the four or five threads with this rock at that time:

Skull shaped object.

Hello all,

I am posting this to see if I can get a proper identification of what this is. I took it to the University of Georgia and spoke to one of their geologists. He said that it looks to be a cast impression of a creature from a long time ago.

Here are images:



When I found this rock, it was attached to another rock. The host rock has a mold impression of this skull shaped rock. Here are the photos:




This may be totally irrelevant but I thought I should mention it. I went back to the area to look for more. I found two more rocks with a similar type of material. These aren't the exact same material but it was pretty close. Someone mentioned to me that these might be Jesuit stones. They appear to be man made and carved.

Here are those pictures:



Like I said, the last section might be irrelevant. I just wanted to include it in the story because I found them very close to the skull shaped object.

I will be happy to answer any questions.

Thank you.

I believe that you really believe what you think you see!!
