Fossil or Rock?

Recommended Posts

I have another piece found near Houston Texas in a dredge operation. It has areas that are almost clear or crystal like but at the same time has a similar look and texture as bone.

Does anyone have any ideas.

Thanks so much.

It has those bottoidal "bubbles" similar to the fossil coral found in northern Florida.

The botryoidal area is a common feature of agate (and many other minerals). 

The geode corals of Florida and Georgia do have some great examples of botryoidal agate.

I could see the botryoidal shapes and perpendicular crystal laminations. It's not a tooth or bone, but a mineral, though.
