A priceless find!
« on: June 14, 2013, 01:16:00 PM »
I was in Missouri the other day and happened to stop at a rock shop that was selling some Indian artifacts. I was going through their "rock pile" when I found a prehistoric petrified canine skull that had turned to solid stone after who knows how many centuries. It is either a small bear, young wolf or maybe a coyote but it has fossilized and is very heavy for it's size. It could even be some sort of species that went extinct. Very neat. I will give it a good new home! I'll have my buddy Steve O. send some photos later today. Stay tuned.

Great find Gene!!!

I would have that to a paleontologist for identification.   Any Universities close by?

Well that's different.......I think you need to get that to an Anthropologist or someone who can tell what the heck it is and how old......even I know it's old....LOL!

Gene, You should not just give it a new home, but spend some effort to find out what it really is, or who he was.

Gene that is so cool.

It's even cooler than my "Dragon's Heart".

I'd love to hear more about it if you get someone who knows about such things.

I'm no expert, but I did take a few classes on dinosaurs in college. Looks like a dinosaur to me as well. maybe velosoraptor?
A trip to your local museum of natural science would be worthwhile. The people there can tell you what it is. Our professors dug up ancient buffalo bones, the  prehistoric giant buffalo and we took them there to be identified.
Now then, get your weapons, your quiver and your bow and go out into the open country to hunt some wild game for me.- Genesis 27:3
