There's evidence in ancient writings of Pterasaurs being around 2000 years or so ago. The Quetzalcoatl was probably around at the time of the Mayans. It is thought to represent a Pterasaur I ...
The Plesiosaurus is one of my favorites too. But they are technicly not dinosaurs. they are ancient marine reptiles.
It looks kinda like pictures of vertibrae of ancient animals that I have seen.
what would the fossil of a tropical plant indicate about the ancient climate where it was found?
For all we know, a tenth of all rocks could be some sort of corpolite from ancient times
That's a strange looking assortment. some seem to look like pieces of something. Maybe your in an ancient dump?
It is hard to ID from photographs, to be sure. My best guess is that it could be a trace fossil. Perhaps a burrow from an ancient organism.
Good Luck!
The large one on the left seems to resemble a stromatolite (ancient algae) from pics I`ve seen of them. Anyone have any experience with them?
kinda looks like a hip bone or something. How I focus on it and what I look at gives me many different ideas, like it also looks like maybe part of an ancient eagle carving too.
Hmmm. It must be the spirit of the ancient indian or something! Maybe I should return the stones

Hmmm. a very large bryozoan that resembles a part of a placeoderm (ancient boney fish for those who don't know.) That is a strong possibility.
Puke?

Wow, a prehistoric ashtray. It's pretty round and looks flatter, Maybe egg. It could be some sort of ancient nut or something also. It's hard to tell after millions of years.
Just think of all the fossils, ancient artifacts and precious metals that were previously inaccessable in those hills. It sounds like an opportunity to go exploring.
