Jer Z Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Found this reputed "fossil bone" specimen five feet below the ground in sandy soil near the Delaware River in Southern New Jersey at the site where a 85' tulip poplar tree fell and lifted the root ball. Identified as "glacial, river worn fossil bone" by Gary's Gem Garden in Mt Laurel, NJ. Any thoughts as to the whether the structure of the reputed ''fossil bone' may be of biological origin? Thanks for your thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Looks like a piece of chert or dolostone to me. 4 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Plax Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Can't help with the "bone" but interesting that Gary's Gem Garden is still around. Bought my "Pictorial Guide to Fossils" by Gerard Case there in the mid 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
