Kasia Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hello Everyone, today I went again to my favourite Pleistocene site - and a friend of mine found something that he thinks could be a fossilised wood. He thinks it could have been brought here by the glacier. It looks like this: It's not very big, as you can see - but quite heavy. Does this look like wood to you? I will appreciate your feedback.

FranzBernhard Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 No, it does not look like wood to me. More like small-scale boxwork structure. But I am really not sure of anything in this case. Franz Bernhard 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Johannes Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Hello Kasia, the look from the sides look look like a piece of a very flat bone to me. I (believe I) can see spongiosa, "embedded" between denser cortex"plates". Could be pleistocene...(?) Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, the site is Pleistocene, but the bones I find there look completely different - both in colour as well as texture. It's pure stone. I'm also inclined to think it's just boxwork...
