Some more pictures would help but if I were to guess I would say a metarsal or vert and possibly a phalanx. Also, I’ll think you’ll find it’s a very rare species of idiot.

LordTrilobite Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Looks like possibly some type of wrist bone of a large mammal maybe. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Well at least it's bone-ish and not idiotic Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The scale would be dangerously close to tipping the other way if it was found near a rail crossing. I think it must be buildup of material from the brakes that gets knocked off. Looks a bit like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I’ll be honest. That texture is screaming sandstone rock at me; Not bone. I think the shape is suggestive, but texture is all wrong. Someone who’s more familiar with the area can correct me if that’s the way preserve at Abby Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 The under side does push the ish and dis the bone a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
