mitziecapone Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I live in Maine. I was walking by a small river and saw something that looked like a bone. So I picked it up. It was heavier than rock should be. There was also a larger rock that was up river and it had odd indentations on it. The larger rock was probly 2x2 feet . It almost looked like someone might have used it to ground grains of some sort on it.I wish I had gotten pictures of the larger rock. I am wondering if I did find a petrified bone and if maybe it was used as a tool to hammer or grind things many later on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanNREMTP Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Does not look like a bone to me but I just had my eyes diulated so everything is blurry and bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 not a bone. Fossilized bone has typical bone texture, and shape. This one has neither... sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think you have an odd piece of geology that has some vaguely bone-like shapes.
