theduckmaster1 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hello. I got this fossil from a friend. I don't know where he got it or where it came from. About 5.08 centimeters and weighs 10 grams. It is the size of a rodent or baby. Is this a skull? If not, what type of bone is it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theduckmaster1 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 @cckWhy do you think this is fishy? I got it from a friend at a stone age fair. I know it's bone, I just don't know what type of bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 He means that he thinks it’s part of a fish fossil.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduckmaster1 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Could be part of a fish fossil. From my experience I can't see how it would be apart of a fish fossil though. If you know, feel free to let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cck Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Sorry for being vague... look up sea robin skull and you’ll see what I was thinking... not saying that’s what it is, but it has similar components... and the texture looks like fossil fish bone often does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduckmaster1 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Yes, it does sort of look like that! Thanks for your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 The texture does indeed look like fish bone. The foramina seem like features that might be seen in a large jaw bone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
