braat Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'm a rock tumbler and I enjoy rock hounding as much as the tumbling. Two days ago I was hounding the river here in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada and found this guy...the shape stood out as it was not the usual river rounded rock I see and there have been dinosaur finds around here so I wondered if it could be a fossil. I know nothing about dinosaur fossils but it kinda looked like a joint bone?? When I got home I googled "dinosaur joint bone" and saw some images with similar shapes which brought me here. All opinions yay or nay welcome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Looks like a rock, don't see any bone texture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Yes, a sedimentary rock that has eroded along bedding planes, softer layers and mineral veins to produce this shape. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 As the others have said, probably just a rock. But it does have a suggestive shape, so I see where you're coming from. But yeah, it lacks the proper bone texture. 2 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinosaur man Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Rock, but has the shape of a bone, very deceiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
