Pores in rock, petrified bone/gem bone and or palm wood id help?
Callahan posted a topic in Rocks & Minerals
All, Could any fossil or mineral experts look at these pics of rocks I just cut with my wet saw? seems to be pores like in bone or palm wood or so called gem bone. I don’t not have the knowledge nor experience in minerals or fossilized stuff. thought these rocks were petrified wood before cutting but no growth rings etc. nor don’t look like the local p wood we find in north tx. the gray stone smells of sulfur and pyrite. prob has pyrite in it. Could this be possibly be coporite Dino poop? Posted this before and was found in gray merle sediment loose shale clayish layer below limestone outcrop in creek. someone said by looking at my pics any recommendations are much appreciated and knowledge shared. provided pics of rock together and outside shots bryan-

Found at low tide on the Maine Coast (an unlikely place to find fossils, apparently). Approximately 3 inches longest side. Looks a bit like the dinosaur bone I've seen from Utah, except there aren't any dinosaur fossils in Maine. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, Could I get some help identifying this gembone piece? Seller listed it as "gembone dino" with no other info. Dimensions are roughly 5cm cross section, 7cm long. I realize this may be difficult to ID exactly, so perhaps even just an assessment of authenticity as a dinosaur gembone would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi all. Complete novice and haven't been able to find a thread that specifically addresses what I'm trying to do. Basically, I'd like to figure out the best way to further clean the specimens in the photos attached to help accentuate the color and details. So far, I've only given them a thorough rinsing under warm water and a light brushing to remove some of the exterior dirt. What, if any, next step can I take? Mild chemical solution? Blasting with baking soda? Further soaking in water? Also, I'd be curious to know what type of chemical application would be appropriate to bring out that varnished wet look? I've seen several chemicals mentioned in other threads, but want to ensure that whatever I end up using is proper for my application. Again, being a real novice, I'm trying to eliminate any errors due to my lack in general knowledge. Thanks for the help as always.
