Bone fragment fossil?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

This seems to have some of the signs of being bone but I'm not sure. Darker tone is visible in the middle of both ends through fragment. Texture is porous and 'gritty'. it is not round or oval, and tapers a bit from one end to other... I'm hoping its not a concretion.

 

Thanks.

 

Rob

I'm no expert but I don't think it's a concretion or bone, just a rock perhaps.

Not seeing fossil bone in the OP's item. 

I'm thinking geologic in nature.

Wait for some more replies, though.

Thinly-laminated sandstone; geologic, not a fossil, sorry

These still fool me now and then while I'm out hunting, especially if they have a suggestive shape.
