Mulholland Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 The other week I found a bone(left) on a Lake Huron beach (Ontario, Canada). The bone is roughly 2.5cm tall and 3cm wide, 1cm thick. To the right of the bone is a "rock" I found yesterday. I felt it looked too similar to the bone I had found. Here they are back to back. Does anyone know what kind of bone this is? And does anyone know if the specimen to the right is infact a fossil, or is it just a rock? Hopefully this is structured well enough. If you have more questions please ask! This is my first post here so thanks for having me. - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I don't thinks there's enough to go on here. Perhaps a joint bone, but that's speculation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarn Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I am a amateur . I may be wrong but the rock on the left could be fossilized coral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulholland Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Joint bone is a good place for me to start looking, thanks. And Zarn I'm certain it's bone and not fossilized coral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I don't think that the one on the right is a bone. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 The one on the right reminds me of furnace slag. There's a lot of it on Great Lakes shores, a leftover from coal-fired ships' steam engines. May also be from steel production. Any mills in that area? Welcome to the forum. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
