haanderson09 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Help us please my son found this in a creek in Missouri and it has porous holes and sticks to tongue like bone but not sure if it’s a fossil or bone. Any help is greatly appreciated! Edited June 27, 2022 by haanderson09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacTheFossilMan Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Hello! Do you have any more precise locational information? Missouri spans a pretty wide geologic scale. Photos with an international scale, showing both ends would be appreciated, too! Welcome to the forum ~ Isaac; www.isaactfm.com "Don't move!

Rockwood Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 It's a tough call, but I don't think this is bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I agree -- rock. 1 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...
abyssunder Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) It looks like a concretion, to me. Can you post pictures showing both ends?
