Mermaid Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Maybe it’s nothing but this rock bone thing is weird and I kept it in case it’s anything significant. I found it on the beach today in seaside, oregon. I found it high in the sand above the tide line in an area with tons of rocks. I can’t scratch anything off with my nail , it is porous. It’s not light like I would expect it to be if it were wood. Any ideas? Edited September 13, 2022 by Mermaid More specific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I don't see any indication that it is bone, tooth or wood. Nothing about it makes me think tool. I assume it is rock, but maybe someone else can tell you what type. 1 Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

fossilus Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Still no fossils. The next to last piece might be asphalt. The snail looks recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
