Mikeydoeswork Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone! The smaller piece I found in the woods in NC, and polished it up some. Not sure if it’s wood or bone, or?? If it is bone, any idea what type? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks everyone!!

Brandy Cole Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Not bone, but it could possibly be silicified wood. It's hard to tell from these pictures. I think it's most likely rock, but wait for other opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeydoeswork Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Yeah that’s certainly possible! How could I test it? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than anything, well lit pictures (like in sunlight) that show the details and texture would help people in the forum to say for certain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I agree they look like weathered rocks, a good close up of end would help, you could try slicing it to see center or do hardnesses test to try and narrow it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 My vote is for weathered rock. Sorry RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeydoeswork Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 You guys are right I’m sure! I do a lot of arrowhead hunting as a hobby, and when I send them in, it’s surprising how many are not… but that’s how you learn! Take this for example… the artifact expert I referred to said this is natural… any idea on how this gets formed in nature?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a trace fossil to me. Invertebrate burrowing or, less likely, root trace are a couple possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking a door stop, but that would be an underutilization if resources due to worm hole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
