The presence of high arsenic levels is a particularly intriguing aspect of this specimen. Arsenic is well-documented for its preservative qualities in certain geological and environmental contexts. In paleontological terms, such high concentrations can facilitate the inhibition of microbial activity, thereby significantly reducing the degradation of organic materials. This phenomenon warrants further analytical investigation to better understand the geochemical conditions that contributed to this extraordinary preservation. Given the fossil's unique characteristics and its potential contribution to advancing our understanding of ancient life and fossilization processes, I strongly advocate for its detailed authentication It is not of human origin. The perforations along the mandible indicate a reptile of unknown origin. The facial symmetry is also distorted due to the force of impact or prolonged exposure to the arsenic or both. Considering the suture lines have been destroyed however the most likely cause of distortion would be impact related. Possibly from volcanic activity or a geothermal vent. The last photo is a microscopic image from a sample take from this fossil. It clearly shows a cellular structure that has been effected by arsenic.
