Jestet Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I found this a couple of years ago in North Texas. I just found this website and I’m interested in exploring more. Thank you for any help that you can offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 It looks like a hoof core from a deer. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I concur. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Next question; is it a fossil. This one could be a trick to tell. Does it seem hard as rock ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jestet Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 It does not. I can scrape it slightly with a fingernail. Many thanks for the assistance. I look forward to learning more from this site and the folks on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjfriend Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Even some "rock" can be scraped by a fingernail. An easy test is to hold a flame to it for a moment. If fossil - no stink, if bone - bad stink lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Don't be surprised if after trying this you still don't know. I've never been able to tell anything this way. They always smell hot to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
