Carl Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Welcome to the Forum! Sorry, but that's not a bone. But it is a fossil. It's a clam steinkern. This represents the mud that filled a dead clam, turned to stone, and outlasted the shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaCollector Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Excellent guys; ....thanks much. I see a lot of clams in this creek and do not take them; ...this one stood out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaCollector Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 I appreciate the speedy response. I have been hunting a private creek/tributary that runs into a larger creek. I have only been a collector for 6 months or so; ...learn something new every day!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
