What a dumb a$$ you are. This is a site to offer help to each other, not to act out because, if you were ever chosen it was always last and very understandable at that. I have a clear picture of you in my mind and its pitiful.

Coool find !!!!
Did you find this west or east of Grand Junction? Near Rifle? Debeque? Mack? I have found pieces similar to yours... one piece was very like yours and was identified as the marrow portion of a dinosaur bone... (type of dino was not ID'd) Marrow of 'dinny' bone has a larger cell structure than 'bone' dinny done... and many times is rather whitish or bluish though i do have some that is pinkish and red. I have found some like this near Grand Junction (near Dinosaur Hill). hope you can get it ID'd

Oh, the bluish white pice on the left in image #2 looks like chalcedony replacement. (A healed fracture after the bone fossilized)

After this it can-
I'm sorry I just couldn't resist, being the halfwit that I am (by Harry's definition). As someone who would register maybe an 1/8 wit as it pertains to fossils, rocks, and minerals in general, (and I think i'm speaking for many of us here) I post in this section because I know there are people who are very educated in this particular field of study. We don't come here to vituperated or castigated, by those from whom we seek answers and knowledge from. Nor to be subjugated to humility.
As for someone who makes a statement of "it was found where they find dinosaur bones, megalodon teeth and trilobites quite often," obviously he misspoke and should have said they were found "in proximity to" where they find blah, blah, blah.... since it is possible to find all three in the same general "area" just not "in association with". I'm sure he didn't mean to become the object of ridicule with his statement. Nor did he expect to be called "ig norant" which is basically what has been stated by a certain member. Hypocritical by the halfwit definition??
As for the attempt to "poke a little fun". Attempts at humor by those who are deemed highly intelligent, are sometimes perceived as arrogant and uppity (or simply, not funny) by those of us who are "less informed," because we aren't on the same "level" as they are. Their brain processes information in a different way than ours does. Something they may find humorous and jocular just flies right over our heads because we lack the intelligence needed to understand the levity of the situation. While their scholastic skills far exceed most in society, their social skills are (in the vast majority of cases) inept and inadequate, leaving them alone and naked in a world where not only is social interaction normal, it is a necessity and vital to human health, both mentally and physically. Do not chastise this person, for he knows not what he does.



There are men so philosophical that they can see humor in their own toothaches. But there has never lived a man so philosophical that he could see the toothache in his own humor.

I don't normally like to get involved with the chest beating that goes on here, but I want to say that of all the people on Tnet, I learn the most from his posts. He has the knowledge & doesn't mind sharing it with us. We should be thankful to have him contribute to this site. Harry, once again I thank you for sharing. & if you feel like being sarcastic go for it! Lord knows most everyone else does it too. Please don't stop teaching us.

I was just interested in what he had to say . I'm not getting into any chest bumping things.. This an old post and I just saw that he posted something about it.

Okay- gee-whiz, that weird piece looks like there's something(a quartz crystal?) wrapped- curled into it on one end. Is that a clue to what it is? And the rest...mouth-running? I just keep looking at this thing posted, and I wonder if anyone can get beyond the bs and get w/ the topic? But really- so simple, so small, just a question. Or has it fallen already into the 'who cares' file? There's a (crystal?) embedded- which *I* think is interesting. Maybe everyone here is jaded and thus immune to the intrigue of such a thing. But I still am curious. For instance, I found a rutilated crystal in VA, and asked about that (in gems and minerals...)and was met with 'Quartz is the most common mineral in the world' or some such. But not rutilated. Sometimes I think if there isn't an answer here, it might be nice to point someone in the right direction rather than devolving... I can't actually see whether this guy's question was actually answered. A possible fossil which has bent around a (crystal?)... Yak

I had to see what this thing was after reading that its petrified palm wood

[GatorBoy]

That was just sad

 

[dustintimmons_83]

I don't think it's petrified palm wood gator, I'll have to get some better pics of it..

 

[dustintimmons_83]

Here's what all of the petrified wood looks like to me

 

[GatorBoy]

That piece is not palm wood.
It's one of two things if not palm wood its coral.. By the photos I'm 99.9% sure its palm wood

In just a short search on the internet I found examples found on the South Platte River in Adams County

It looks to be a partial fossil deer calcaneum
