The Mushroom Whisperer Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hello everyone, I found this in Washington State, Pleistocene, near Mason County. Suggestive piece of jasper or fossil bone? And I apologize for not using metric. I couldn't find my other measurer... Your thoughts would be appreciated. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norki Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I'm gonna have to go with geologic, but it's definitely one of the closest to a plausible bone shape that I've seen posted here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hi, I can’t help you, but I just wanted to say that I’ve never seen such a scale with 1/8 - 3/8 etc... When I give measurements in cm I am obliged to make a conversion with a calculator to indicate them also in inch...

GeschWhat Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 On 5/9/2020 at 9:42 PM, The Mushroom Whisperer said: It looks very close to bone structure on the ends, but if it is one, the cortical bone doesn't look right. Is it possible that this came from a prehistoric floodplain? Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible that this came from a prehistoric floodplain? I'm honestly not sure. Let me do a little more research and see what I can find out about the area!
