Andy064 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Found this at Discovery Park, (a rocky beach), in Seattle WA. I think its a fossilized bird claw or talon. I donn't know if it is..... or what its is. Any info would be appreciated. Would love to know what animal it came from if its a fossil. Thanks!

Fossildude19 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Welcome to the Forum. Unfortunately, I have to agree with the others. Not a fossil. But a cool looking, beach worn rock.

ynot Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Welcome to TFF! That is a real nice fake "fossil", one of the best that I have seen in awhile. Ma nature does like to play jokes on us! Keep looking and You will find some real fossils. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

CAtoPA Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I would have thought it was a talon, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 We see lots of suggestive rocks on this forum and most of us would also pick them up. This one is very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigHyatt Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 We see lots of suggestive rocks on this forum and most of us would also pick them up. This one is very cool I was thinking the other day we should create a simulacrum gallery. This "talon" would be a great entry, and I'd be happy to donate a photo of my petrified sushi. :-) Info: Craig Hyatt, retired software/electrical engineer Experience: Beginner, fossil hunting less than a year Location: Eagle Pass, TX USA on the border with Mexico, hot dry desert Formation: Escondido, Marine, Upper Cretaceous Materials: Sandstone, Mudstone, Shale, Chert, Chalk Typical: Thalassinoides, Sphenodiscus, Exogyra, Inoceramus Reference: http://txfossils.com/Txfossils.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I don't think it is a rock. It looks like a BIC lighter. I have collected those before in Eocene formations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I would rather focus on the real stuff So would I, but I find the fakes to be interesting, and it could help others with less experience identifying fossils.
