britishcanuk Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 A friend found this in his grandpas attic and was wondering what it could be. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilus Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The boney texture at the base suggests that it may just be a piece of bone "process" (an extension on the bone). Teeth generally are separate from bone, and generally have enamel, which this doesn't appear to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuckMucus Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I can't figure the base out, especially where some bone (top photo, right side) seems to be running perpendicular to the other bone (top photo top and left). But for that, I'd guess a horn or claw core that may have had a sheath over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Trilo Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I have no idea as well to me it looks like a piece of an antler but to be honest not really sure about the shape or texture of one “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor.

Petalodus12 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Could be the transverse process of a vertebra. Not entirely sure, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
