Esquibel Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) This has been on our bathroom window ledge for some time now. Iam curious to know if this is just a rock or something else. This piece has some odd characteristics such as; linear ridges, pores, indent around one edge that looks like something could have been attached, and a think dark center. I read if you lick a fossil It will slightly stick which it did. We live in North Dakota north of the Missouri river. I like searching for odd or unique rocks along the shore. I can't recall exactly were it was found but can say either from the lake or my yard which is a new development on farm land. I am not a master photographer but hope the images do it justice. Thanks for viewing. Edited December 13, 2019 by Esquibel No pic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rockwood Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if it is a poorly preserved bit of cancellous bone, but you should wait for more opinions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TqB Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 It looks like a solitary rugose coral ("horn coral"). 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rockwood Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I noticed that too. The North Dakota part drew me away though I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
