Pennsylvanian Bone or Just Stone?

Recommended Posts

I found this on the bank of a stream near Pittsburgh. It looks to me like bone, but perhaps I'm imagining things. It's rather light and I can tell you the stream is part of the Conemaugh Group, Glenshaw Formation and Pennsylvanian/Carboniferous period. Any help is appreciated. (Last pic has the scale.)

I'll agree with this one, likely an oddly shaped and carved rock from the river. Could be limestone, sandstone, or shale, all possible in the Glenshaw. Lots of sandstone I find in streams is very smooth. However once you smack it with a hammer, the sandy/grainy inside shows what it is.
