gobbler716 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I thought this was a piece of concrete, but something told me not to throw it away. On one side it looks like triganocarpus may have fallen out of it and the other is an unknown (to me) object. My question is.....is it possible that this object is a piece of bone? I have never found any bone in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbler716 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 You can see the oval holes on the back that look as though triganocarpus pods may have once been housed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Better pictures might aid us more. Larger, clearer, in focus and brighter pictures, with a ruler for scale. Take them outside and shoot in bright sunlight. Please shoot area close - ups of the Seed imprints, and some overall pics of the stone from different angles. I don't think it totally looks like concrete, but may be a conglomerate sandstone or limestone.

Shamalama Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Yeah, Looks like a Conglomerate to me and the smooth areas are where pebbles were imbedded in the matrix. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
