Hello, This seems to have some of the signs of being bone but I'm not sure. Darker tone is visible in the middle of both ends through fragment. Texture is porous and 'gritty'. it is not round or oval, and tapers a bit from one end to other... I'm hoping its not a concretion. Thanks. Rob

Interesting fossilized bone texture. Large mammal. Brazos River, TX
Brookie13 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi Everyone, I found an interesting large bone fragment in the Brazos River, outside of Harris County, Texas. The fragment has a thick sidewall, so I am guessing it is from a large mammal, possibly mammoth. The thing that I can't wrap my head around is the odd pocket-like texture exhibited on one side of the bone. Could these odd pockets help in the identification of this fossil? Also, I have attached a picture of 2 antlers from the Brazos. They both look like they are whitetail deer antlers to me. One is much larger than the other, possibly due to age and nutrition of the animal? Thanks for checking them out.- 11 replies
