BRack73 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) I found this in a natural spring in 2022 down in Florida near Apopka. We were in the area for a family vacation and as we were floating down the stream, my hand hit this, so I went under water and dug it up. Not sure whether it's bone or a small piece of wood fossilized. It sounds like marble when I place it on our counter. So whatever it is, it seems to be fossilized/petrified.Thanks for any info you may have.

Fossildude19 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 This looks like bone to me. Not sure it can be identified further, but, wait for other opinions. 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

BRack73 Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 I thought it was bone and my wife was thinking wood......it has a slight curve to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Looks like a piece of deer antler. 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRack73 Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 I thought about that because we have antlers that our dog chews on.....it was just odd to find it in the bottom of a clear water spring. Definitely possible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I wouldn't give this to the dogs. If it sounds like porcelain it is almost certainly a fossil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRack73 Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Thanks, I have other antlers I give to the dogs. This sits in a window behind our sink.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
