Stij Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hi, first time on the site. Walking along a track beside a newly ploughed field on a hilltop in a small town in the south of England and came across a fossilised bone and wondered if anyone out there had any ideas as to what kind of animal it may have belonged - appreciate any feedback on this.

Ludwigia Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Doesn't look like bone to me. More like severely weathered chert. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 It's a piece of Upper Cretaceous flint, with a sponge in the middle. Flint nodules very often form bone-like shapes. And welcome to the forum! 5 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
