Mosasaurhunter Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hi, This was found in a field in Macon county Georgia. It appears to be some type of bone and it’s in what appears to be limestone and is probably upper Cretaceous or lower Tertiary in age. Can anyone help me identify this?

Lone Hunter Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Maybe limestone in suggestive shape of bone but does not appear to be bone to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I decided to check if it was limestone, I used hydrochloric acid in a 1.0M solution. Tested on known limestone and it reacted as control. Tested on the possible bone/limestone, and there was no reaction. So it couldn’t be limestone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Sorry, doesn't appear to be bone. 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.

Lone Hunter Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 A different kind of rock. Possibly chert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
