Can Ya'll Help Me With This? Is It A Fossil Or A Rock?

Hi guys,

I found this along with my grandfather's rock collection a few years ago. I can't tell you where it is from because The Old Man isn't around to ask. But if you guys could help me find out what this may be. It is shaped much like a tooth, about 5 1/2 inch long and about 3 inches across at the top and about a 1/2 inch at the tip.

I'm not very educated about these things, so all thoughts and information/questions you may have will be helpful.

ThanksIn Advance,

FlyingBaldini

Hi, and welcome!

Good picture!

It looks to me like an internal mold of a pelecypod (clam, similar to the one in my avatar). We'll see if someone else may have another thought.

If you can, a couple of shots from different angles will be helpful. :)

my best guess is pelecypod also.
